From a 700 FICO to 550 Overnight? Here’s How You Reverse It

Coach Clarence Season 6 Episode 242

Over 2 million borrowers just lost 100+ credit points, and most never saw it coming. If your score slid from a 700 to a 550 overnight, this episode is your playbook to reverse it.

Inside, we unpack exactly how post-October 2024 reporting torpedoed scores—retroactive lates, skipped notices, duplicate tradelines, and how those same violations can be used to dispute and delete the damage.

What you’ll learn:

  • The reporting rules federal vs. private servicers keep breaking—and how to prove it
  • The step-by-step dispute stack: bureaus, servicer validation, CFPB complaint
  • When consolidation resets the board (and when it doesn’t)
  • How to escalate for fast corrections and permanent removals

Who it’s for: borrowers, first-time homebuyers, agents, and LOs advising clients—anyone who needs credit points back now.
