National Credit Care is a for-profit credit repair company. Rather than repeat what they say, read their website directly at nationalcreditcare.com.
Step 1: Check Their Credentials
- BBB Profile: Better Business Bureau profile for National Credit Care — rating, complaint history, and company responses.
- State Licensing: Credit repair companies must be licensed in many states. Ask for the license number and verify it with your state’s consumer protection office.
- CROA Compliance: The Credit Repair Organizations Act requires companies to provide a written contract, a three-day cancellation right, and prohibits charging fees before completing services. Ask explicitly whether they comply.
- FTC Guidelines: Review the FTC’s guidance on credit repair so you know what legitimate companies can and cannot do.
- BBB Accreditation: Check whether the company holds BBB accreditation — and more importantly, read the actual complaint text in their profile.
A Note on BBB Grades: Read the actual complaint text — more useful than the letter grade.
Step 2: Check Consumer Complaints
Search National Credit Care’s complaint history in the CFPB database →
- What types of complaints are being filed?
- How did National Credit Care respond to each complaint?
- Are there recurring patterns across multiple complaints?
- How does the complaint volume compare to the company’s size?
Step 3: Read Their Trustpilot Reviews

Money you may be owed, scams to dodge, and the fine print decoded — the consumer money news that affects your wallet, every weekday.
- Do five-star reviews mention the enrollment process or actual credit outcomes?
- Two- and three-star reviews often contain the most honest feedback
- How does the company respond to negative reviews?
- A sudden influx of positive reviews can indicate solicitation
Step 4: Check Their Legal and Enforcement History
- CFPB: CFPB enforcement actions
- FTC: FTC cases and proceedings
- State AG: Search “National Credit Care attorney general settlement” in your state
- PACER: Federal court records (PACER)
Context Matters: An enforcement action doesn’t automatically disqualify a company — what matters is what the action was for and whether the behavior continued afterward.
Step 5: Ask the Right Questions Before You Proceed
Before signing anything: Run the contract through my Contract Decoder tool.
- Which specific negative items do you believe you can dispute, and what is your basis for disputing them?
- What is your realistic timeline for my situation, and what happens if results don’t materialize?
- Do you comply with all CROA requirements, including the three-day right to cancel?
- What exactly am I paying for, and when are fees charged relative to services performed?
- What can I dispute on my own for free that you would charge me to dispute?
- Can you put all of that in writing before I sign?
Before You Commit: Use my Find Your Path tool to make sure credit repair is the right move for your situation.

Compare Your Real Options: Most debt relief companies won’t tell you about all your options — especially the ones they can’t profit from. Credit counseling has a 21-27% completion rate. Settlement resolves about 1% of enrolled debts fully. Bankruptcy has a 95% discharge rate — and protects your retirement.
