No, credit repair companies cannot charge upfront fees.
The Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) prohibits credit repair companies from charging any fees before they have actually performed the services they have promised. This means that you should never have to pay a credit repair company any money before they have helped you dispute any inaccurate information on your credit report.
If a credit repair company asks you to pay an upfront fee, it is a red flag that the company may be a scam. You should report any credit repair company that asks for an upfront fee to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
