The QualifyReady Handbook · $37 · digital and print editions

Restoration. Renewal. Acceleration.

Every dispute kit on the internet is one of two things: a template, or a subscription. A template is a letter with no field in it. A subscription is someone mailing that letter for you, monthly, until you cancel.

This is the third thing. It is the toolkit QualifyReady uses to build a package, with the blanks left for you: the worksheet that decides which items get a letter, the eight letters with the six lines already in their bones, the calendars the statute runs on, the tracker, and the chapter nobody sells because it is called Which letters not to send. Then it keeps going, into the twelve months that make a corrected file worth reading and the ninety days before an application when everything has to be true at once.

A publication, not a service. It does not read your file. The $37 is credited toward any package for 60 days.

The QualifyReady Handbook cover

It was a thin envelope. That is the first thing anybody who has been declined will tell you.

The good news comes in a thick envelope and the bad news comes in a thin one, and you can tell from the mailbox. The letter says what those letters say: the application was reviewed, information in a consumer report was a factor, here is the bureau's number. Underneath, four reasons in the language of a machine. You read the list six times looking for the person in it and do not find her.

What most people do next is type the bureau's name and the word "dispute" into a search bar, and forty minutes later they are ready to send a three-page template about everything. What the Handbook has you do instead is pull all three reports the same week, write the date on the front of each in pen, and read the file the lender read, line by line. That evening, done properly, is Act I. Two things to leave alone, one thing to correct, one thing to chase: that is the whole file, and it takes an evening to see and a template three rounds and a notary to miss.

Three acts, twenty-six chapters, five interludes

Act I · Credit Restoration

The file made true. Reading all three reports and where each bureau hides the fields. Page one before any account, and why the wrong entries carry passengers. The tagging worksheet: three piles, and only one gets a letter. Letters A through G, blank, with the six lines already in them. The collector's clock. Mailing day, the 60-day calendar and the tracker. Which letters not to send. Reading what comes back, and the round that gets smaller.

Act II · Credit Renewal

The file made worth reading. A true file with nothing good on it is a true blank. What a lender reads for that the model does not. The order accounts are opened, and the twelve-month calendar. The Green Zone in full. The statement date, and the one lever that moves in thirty days without a letter. The hundred-word statement and Letter H, the letter of explanation. Co-signing, the family card, the freeze you forgot.

Act III · Credit Acceleration

The file made ready. The five files a lender's vendors actually pull (LexisNexis, Innovis, ChexSystems, Early Warning, NCTUE), what each holds, who reads it, and how to dispute it. The underwriter's twelve minutes, translated. The ninety-day calendar, day by day from −90 to closing. Records: what to keep forever, for seven years, for the year. The door.

Between the acts, the Danger Zone. Nineteen viral hacks, each placed at the moment it would tempt you, with what it does, how long it lasts, the day it stops, and the section of law beside it. The 604 kit and the 609 letter at the desk. Pay-for-delete, the FTC report and the UCC filing at the collector. Rented tradelines and the CPN at the builder. Rapid rescore inside the lock. Named as tactics. No seller is named. It is your report. You decide.

The tools, blank, and a folder you can copy

The tagging worksheet

Six questions per negative item. By the sixth it has a tag: dispute, verify first, or leave alone. The Sheet computes it for you.

Eight letters

A: reinvestigation to a bureau. B: direct dispute to a furnisher. C: personal-information correction. D: collector validation. E: description of procedure. F: reinsertion. G: the CFPB complaint. H: the letter of explanation to your lender. Each with a "which means" under it.

Three calendars and a tracker

The 60-day dispute calendar, the 12-month renewal calendar, the 90-day pre-closing calendar. The tracker with the green-card dates that start the clocks.

The companion folder

Every worksheet, letter, calendar and tracker as a Google Sheet or Doc you copy into your own Drive and fill in on a phone. Linked from the page it belongs to.

Relayed by the six people who write the site

Jenavieve tells the story: the envelope, mailing day, the ninety days. Calvin teaches the rule and glosses every statute in plain words. Tomás keeps the case histories, dated to the day, with the loan officer's chair in every one. Mira writes the essays that close each act. Élodie, Jenavieve's mother, corrects the rest of them by name and has the chapter on which letters to put in the tin unsent. Tess writes only to lenders, so where what she tells them matters to you, one of the others translates. All six are pen names and composites, disclosed on every author page. Every section of law is on the sources page at the back.

Not ready for the whole year?

Start with the letter. Seven dollars, one evening.

The Six Lines is the short book on the one thing everything else depends on: what makes a letter a dispute a bureau has to answer. The six lines, the certified-mail ritual, the four clocks, reading the results, and the Danger Zone in full. Twenty-five pages. If you read it and want the rest, the $7 comes off the Handbook for 60 days.

Questions people ask before paying $37

Is this the same thing as the $199 package?

The package is the read: we go through your files and hand you the analysis, the letters and the calendar with your items in them. The Handbook is the method with the blanks left for you. Same worksheet, same letters, same calendars. You do the reading. If you start here and decide you want the read done, the $37 comes off any package for 60 days.

Will this raise my score?

Everyone asks, and nobody honest answers. Correcting a wrong field makes the file true. What a score does with a true file is between the file and the model, and this book will not guess. It will tell you, in Act II, what a lender reads for that the model does not.

How long does the process take?

Longer than the videos say. One dispute round is about forty-five days from mailing to results. Two rounds is the typical file. Renewal is twelve months, on purpose. The ninety days before an application are their own act. The book is honest about all three, and it is the only one on the shelf with a chapter on when to stop.

Is it really 100 pages?

Ninety-seven in print, 128 on a phone. Thirty thousand words. It reads faster than that sounds, because it is told, and because you will skip to the chapter you need on the day you need it.

Is QualifyReady a credit repair company?

No. It is a credit file analysis and document-preparation service, and this is a publication. It does not read your file, send anything, or promise a score, an approval or a deletion. You send the letters.
