James, who has worked in the agricultural supply chain sector for 8 years, had inaccurate late payment notations on his credit report stemming from a former landlord dispute in Apple Creek.

We meticulously disputed these inaccuracies under Ohio law and achieved their removal in just 45 days. He was able to close on his first Apple Creek home 2 months later with a conventional mortgage at an excellent 5.2% APR. "You guys changed my life," James said, holding the keys to his new home.
