Our History
Although in New Zealand, credit repair firms do not require a licence, you can be rest assured that Credit Fix Solutions is a licenced credit repair firm in Australia as per Per ASIC’s media release dated 5th May 2021, firms offering debt management services require credit licence to operate.
We are proud to say that we were the very first credit repair company to operate on a ‘no win no fee’ basis in Australia when the company was founded in 2014.
We have taken pride in offering our clients the best credit reporting education and credit repair options and will only charge you if we can fix or improve your credit report.
The firm has over 9,000 finance professionals referring in Australia, and we are excited to open in New Zealand as of 2024 working with mortgage advisors.
A Credit Repair Firm That Does Good in the World
It’s Business for GOOD at Credit Fix Solutions
I have utilized the services of Credit Fix Solutions for over 2 years now for at least a dozen of my clients attempting to get into the property market in Queensland. In each instance the clients have had impairment of some sort with their credit reports, and without the services of Credit Fix, I believe they would have never been able to repair their credit reports and obtain finance for their properties. Without them and their services the dozen clients they have helped of mine would not be in their own homes and in most cases, would still be struggling to clear their credit reports.

Credit Report
FAQs
What is a credit report?
Your credit report is a vital part of assessing your financial history and will dictate your ability to gain access to finance for wealth creation, subject to other Lender terms and conditions.
Your credit report contains your historical ‘footprint’ of your financial behaviour, including:
- How often you apply for credit
- What type of credit you apply for, i.e., home loan, personal loan, payday loan etc.
- How you repay those loans if payments are late, or you overdraw your accounts.
- If you have defaults if you are in collections or judgements or court rulings.
People often think that it’s just their credit score that is important. But this is not true, although your score can be important to some Lenders, it’s the contents of your credit report that the credit assessment teams look at in deciding to approve you for finance or not.
Your credit score is a quick indicator of your creditworthiness. The score is based on your current credit report, but there are different scores.
If you take the Equifax scoring system for example, you have the following scores:
- Comprehensive Score – Your overall score
- Negative Data only – Score based on Defaults and Judgements only
- Vedascore 1.1 – The old system, still used by some lenders for Auto-Declining applications
However, there are 3 credit reporting agencies in New Zealand. Not just Equifax.
There is also Illion and Centrix.
In general, scores and reports should all be the same, but they can sometimes be different.
This is because some Lenders may choose to report to Equifax and/or the other credit reporting agencies, which in turn can give us different reports and scores.
Overall, it is important that you check and read through all 3 credit reports before applying for finance.
We don’t know which Lenders are checking which report(s).
So, we should be looking at all 3 of them.
In addition, it’s a good idea to visit a finance adviser before you apply for finance.
This is because brokers are trained to know which Lenders accept what.
And they will assess everything, including your credit reports, before submitting a loan to a Lender.
You can get your free personal credit reports from all three agencies in New Zealand.

How do I repair my credit report?
Repairing credit is something we have done for many years.
It takes time, patience, and knowledge of certain legislation to dispute data on credit reports.
But it is something you can try yourself.
For example, have you been a victim of fraud?
Get in touch with the credit providers that have listed information on your report.
The information that is not yours.
They will help you run a fraud complaint.
Maybe you dispute a default on your credit report?
Again, you can lodge a request for the credit provider to investigate this for you.
You need to allow them 30 to 45 days to respond.
This is called an internal dispute resolution process.
You cannot just go straight to the Ombudsman.
This is because you need to allow the credit provider the opportunity to resolve the matter ‘in house’ before you take them to the Ombudsman.
Ombudsman services are there to use if you are unhappy with the credit providers internal response.
If you are disputing a default, it can only be removed if found to be listed in error.
You cannot have defaults removed because you’ve since paid it.
A default stays on your credit report for 5 years.
If and when it’s paid, the default listing will be updated to ‘paid’ or ‘settled’.

Does credit repair actually work?
Yes, credit repair actually works. Our CEO, Victoria Coster, has been a credit repair specialist since 2011.
She established Credit Fix Solutions in 2014 to offer credit repair services for finance brokers and their clients.
Since 2014, the team at Credit Fix Solutions have helped thousands of Australians to fix their credit reports, and as the legislation is very similar and the processes, we believe we can help New Zealanders fix their credit aswell and have opened up in New Zealand as of 2024!
All enquiries and scenarios as well as the work itself will be personally handled by our CEO as we grow the new business and we are super excited to help more people with no result no fee credit repair services.
We have been asked, ‘does credit repair actually work?’ many times.
But we wouldn’t be in business so long and be so successful unless it did work.
We’ve established referral relationships with thousands of finance brokers over the years.
They have entrusted their clients to us for credit repair services.
We offer free assessments on credit reports and educational tools for finance advisers and for consumers.
We help consumers read and understand their credit reports.
If there is something a person can do themselves for free, then we absolutely encourage this.
Our CEO has a long-term vision for the business, and our core values are ‘Help, Learn, Grow’.
If you can fix your credit report yourself, we say go for it!
There may be things that you don’t want to work on though, and we are happy to help!
We will only take on clients for credit repair if:
- It is a benefit for them to fix their credit report
- We seem to have legal grounds to remove or amend their credit report
- They can afford our services
Credit repair really does work.
Sharing a client success story:
A lady came to us with a default on her credit report.
She was referred to us by her mortgage broker.
At that time, she was paying $2,000 per fortnight on her home loan.
Her interest rate was quite high.
She had got in touch with her mortgage adviser, because she wanted to refinance to a better interest rate.
He couldn’t do that for her because of the 1 large default on her credit report.
This was the only thing stopping him for getting her approved for a refinance.
We removed the default for her, within 8 weeks, and she was able to refinance.
When we called her after we finished our work, (we contact all clients after we finish working for them to make sure they are happy with our services) she mentioned to her consultant that she was over the moon.
Her mortgage broker was able to refinance her to a much lower interest rate.
Why?
Because the default was removed from her credit report.
In fact, she was now saving $1000 per fortnight on her new home loan.
If the default had remained, it was staying on her file for a further 2 years.
So yes, again, credit repair really does work!!

How long does it take to repair credit?
The Credit Repair Process:
Defaults
We run a high-level investigation with the credit provider who has listed the default on your credit report.
We request documents from them containing notes and other information on the account leading up to the default listing.
As a default can only be removed when it is listed in error, we then go through the documents we receive with a fine-tooth comb trying to find any errors with the listing.
If we find an error (e.g., failure to offer financial assistance when needed) in the default listing we have the credit provider ask the CRB (Centrix, Equifax and/or Illion) to remove the listing.
Timeframe
In most cases a default removal takes up to 4 to 8 weeks. In complex cases it can take up to 12 weeks.
By law, credit providers have 30 days to respond to any request for information.
In some cases, we can have defaults removed in a matter of 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the urgency of the situation and how responsive the credit providers are.
This is something you can try yourself of course!
