Steven, you made a mistake.
Credit repair can remove it.
It's illegal to claim that they will or that they will guarantee to remove it.
EVERY legit credit repair agency makes the same claims. Just look at the big websites of the big ones out there.

However, monthly fees are a crock - the longer they're on the program, the more money they make. Lexington Law doesn't start making money until you're on their program for like 9-12 months.
