Credit Repair · The Dispute-Cycle Engine
Credit repair business automation built for CROA, the TSR and a world without SMS
Every lead answered in a minute, every round reported, and every partner statement sent on time without you doing it at night. Everborn builds the front door, the retention engine and the partner program around the dispute software you already use.
Who it is for
Built for the owner of a 1-to-20-person credit repair organization. Keep DisputeFox, Credit Repair Cloud or Client Dispute Manager; that is your dispute engine. We sit in front of it and sync status both ways.
Where a credit repair company's day goes
Leads come in at night from Meta and your partners' QR codes, and the rep calls them the next morning. Consultations fill the late morning. The processor imports reports, generates the round and mails it, then logs responses against the bureaus' 30-day investigation clock. Client success answers "did my round go out?" all afternoon. Billing works the failed cards, and the owner does partner statements and the weekly numbers after dinner.
And all of it runs under rules most businesses never see: a separate rights disclosure before any contract, a cancellation window (three business days federally, five working days in California), no fee until the work is fully performed, and, when any part of the sale is by phone, the Telemarketing Sales Rule's six-month wait.
How a client moves, and where we sit
Lead → consultation → disclosure → contract → cancellation window → documents and monitoring → round 1 → bureau investigation → results → next round → billing for work performed → graduation and re-check.
Keep your dispute software as the dispute engine. We sit in front of it and sync status both ways.
The Dispute-Cycle Engine and what comes off your plate
Launch: every lead answered, every call returned. Email plus an automatic call-back attempt in under 60 seconds, voicemail drop on missed calls, round-robin to reps, a booking calendar with reminders, a 5-day email-and-voice drip, consent capture and a Georgia geo-fence, a review request on a good result or graduation, and a written A2P recommendation instead of a registration that would misdescribe your business.
Growth: Launch plus The Dispute-Cycle Engine
The named block of ten deliverables in the Growth package, built for Credit Repair.
- Enrollment packet flow
The CROA contract, state information statement and a separate notice of cancellation go out on enrollment and are chased at 1, 24 and 72 hours. The cancellation window (3 business days federally, 5 working days in California) is tracked and the first bill waits for the first work date.
- Document chase with live checklist
ID, proof of address and the monitoring login each get an upload link and reminders; staff see who is stuck where.
- Dispute software sync
Status, stage, round number and items flow into hidden CRM fields. Scores never leave the CRM.
- Round-went-out and results emails
Branded, compliant emails on the round date and on result changes, with a staff alert when a round is late.
- Progress reports
30/60/90-day and monthly reports with a per-bureau before-and-after table, honest declines shown, and a portal link instead of a score in the message.
- Decline and expired-card recovery
A pre-bill notice, then an email and voice decline sequence with a self-serve card update.
- Cancellation save lane
A hold stage, a call task inside the hour, a what-we-have-disputed summary, and a pause offer rather than anything resembling an advance-fee incentive.
- Greenlight flag
When a client crosses your internal threshold, the rep gets a task to call the referring partner. The threshold never appears where a partner or client can read it.
- Graduation re-check
Past clients hear from you at 6 and 12 months after graduation.
- Compliance guard
Banned-phrase checks on every template and AI reply, timestamped consent, and signed disclosures kept for the periods federal and state law require (two years under CROA; four years after the agreement ends in California).
Full Engine: Growth plus the partner program and the operating system
Counter cards and monthly statements with fee lines for dealers, apartment communities and tax preparers who may lawfully be paid; a separate no-fee program for loan officers, real estate agents and attorneys; partner outreach; a recruiting funnel for reps and processors; and the monthly automation think-tank.
The money desk: sign-up, billing and commissions
The package each item starts in is shown under its name.
| What it is | What it does |
|---|---|
| Owner-routed onboarding Growth | Every new client gets the welcome from their own rep: the rep's name, email and own sign-up link, so the file lands in that rep's queue. One message per client, never a duplicate. |
| Secure two-step sign-up Growth | Clients never email an SSN, ID, password or account number. The welcome sends them to a secure form that files everything straight into your system of record, and says plainly not to email it. |
| Billing that runs itself Growth | Monthly billing in arrears for work already performed: branded invoice emails; reminders 3 days before due, on the due day, 3 days after and a final notice at 7 days; card-on-file autopay with an upcoming-charge notice and a declined-card update link; receipts. Email-first. The upcoming-charge notice doubles as the pre-bill notice. |
| Auto-drafted invoices Full Engine (on Growth with the Third-party integration add-on, $2,500) | When a client is added in your dispute platform, a blank draft invoice for them appears in the CRM for staff to fill in and send. Nothing reaches the client until a person sends it. |
| Commission ledger Full Engine | Rep commissions calculated from money actually collected, not signed enrollments, under your own plan rules (splits, payout timing, clawbacks, lead-type rates), with a monthly statement per rep and a needs-attention list. |
| Billing reconciliation Full Engine | One view of who is billed, who paid, who is overdue and who is being missed across the CRM, the dispute platform and any old processor, catching clients who are active but not billed anywhere. |
| Payment processor migration Included at no charge | Moves every paying client off a processor that closed or is being replaced: new payment links or card-on-file, and old invoices cancelled only after payment clears, so nobody is double-charged or dropped. |
Partners who send clients, and get them back ready
Dealers hand a counter card to the customer they couldn't get bought today; the customer scans it themselves, and the dealer never passes along a credit application. When the client is ready, your rep calls the dealer. Statements show counts and fee lines, never a score, a threshold or an item. Loan officers, real estate agents and attorneys get the no-fee version, on its own paperwork with no payout column, because mortgage referrals sit under RESPA Section 8.
Follow-up length and the never-list
How long it runs. 52 weeks, low frequency. Leads who don't enroll are usually not no but not yet. The ladder runs separately from the 5-day drip, and anyone who responds moves back to the front of the pipeline.
Blocked in every template. No score promises, point ranges or timelines. No remove accurate items, delete collections, clean slate or guaranteed. No score, band or threshold in any message or partner document. No CPN talk. No fee before the service is performed. No client report detail tied to a name in anything a partner receives. No SMS on 10DLC or toll-free. No enrolling Georgia residents.

Credit Repair questions
We already have Credit Repair Cloud, DisputeFox, DisputeBee or Client Dispute Manager.
Keep it; that is the dispute engine. It isn't the front door: answering a Meta lead in a minute, round-robin, a 52-week nurture, decline recovery, partner statements and a Monday report. DisputeFox's own SMS is bring-your-own-Twilio, which runs into the same carrier rules. We sit in front and sync both ways.
Texting is how our clients communicate. You're telling me no SMS?
Yes. Twilio does not approve credit repair for toll-free texting and lists it as disallowed content for 10DLC campaigns, and a business registered as something else is one audit from losing the number. We build the fastest legal alternative: email inside a minute, an automatic call-back attempt, voicemail drop and a client portal. Snap Credit Fix, a California credit repair company, runs on a system I built for them.
How does billing work under CROA and the Telemarketing Sales Rule?
You bill only for work already performed, monthly in arrears, with a pre-bill notice. If any part of your sale happens by phone, the TSR bars collecting a fee until the promised period has passed and a consumer report issued more than six months after the results shows them. Your counsel sets your billing model; the system enforces it.
The CFPB has stepped back. Does compliance matter right now?
Yes. The Lexington Law and Credit Repair Cloud judgments stand, state attorneys general are active, and CROA's private right of action carries a 5-year clock and attorney fees. Compliance here is a banned-phrase list, filed disclosures, consent logs and billing in arrears, at no extra cost.
Our churn is the client's fault. People quit when they get impatient.
Some do. But two causes are controllable: card declines and silence between rounds. Pre-bill notices, a decline sequence, round-went-out emails, progress reports and a save call inside the hour work on both. If the saves report shows nothing after 90 days, we rework the module.
