What Makes Us Different?

❶ ThickCredit App (Us)

Pro: Tailored steps you DIY — not another credit repair company (see #4).

Weakness: Doesn't remove incorrect info from report like wrong phone number (you can write letters to the credit bureaus for that).

Free Score Platform

Pro: Easy way to get an idea of your score.

Weakness: No plan for your profile, often uses a "FAKO" score, not FICO.

❸ Credit Builder Loan

Pro: Useful tool for seasoned credit managers.

Weakness: Just an account, no plan to improve your profile.

❹ Credit Repair Agency

Pro: Good to remove incorrect info (if any) on your report when you don't want to write letters to the credit bureaus yourself.

Weakness: Expensive and doesn't improve your profile.

❺ Credit Counseling

Pro: Required for bankruptcy.

Weakness: Not designed for normal credit building.

So what's the catch?

No catch, we're competitive because:

  1. We're automated and don't have to charge much for labor.
  2. We don't take commissions, so we aren't tied to card company payment deals.
  3. We rely on word-of-mouth and don't charge a premium for marketing expenses.

Why start now?

Account age and payment history are 50% of credit, and they need time to build. The sooner you start, the faster the results.

I don't like the idea of getting debt. Do I need it?

You'll need it to make meaningful progress. Credit is an old game that requires we pay to play. But like any game, there are ways to win efficiently when you have the right skills and tools.

I know people with high scores and just one card. Why don't I just do that?

You can. We built these packages because credit can be misleading. A high score does not mean "creditworthy compared to everyone." It just means "compared to others like you, you are less likely to default." But that can simply mean others like you don't use much debt at all! Banks know this.

The point is, you're here because you're proactive, and our packages are designed to set you up for lifelong success by creating a strong foundation.

How is this different from my local credit repair service?

Grrr, hot topic for us. "Repair" is the operating word here, and it just means disputing errors with credit bureaus (legally speaking and in pactice). It does not "build" your profile for lasting results. We focus on building a thick, resistant profile that stands the test of time.

How are you different from competitors?

We don't take commissions, so we only profit by actually helping you unlike any other credit service online.

Plus, we don't know of other automated credit rebuilding services, but we use an algorithm to match your profile with a customized plan that considers factors on and off your report.

For example, we identify specific products based on your location and available funds. We implement common and less-common techniques at optimal frequencies, such as opening multiple accounts quickly to minimize hard pull count and preempt credit-limit increase requests by choosing cards more favorable to approving from the start. We eliminate secured credit cards entirely — they are obsolete. We plan rotational card usage to avoid innactivity closure and penalties for all-zero accounts.

Most importantly, we automate the lengthy process so you don't have to deal with the stress of uncertainty. Just take 2-3 steps each week.

We also believe in "learning by doing," so we explain each step we recommend. That way you walk away with more than a better profile — you actually know what's going on.

Can't I just get a credit builder loan or app like Self or Kikoff?

Yes, (some) credit builder loans/cards/apps are great tools. We focus on building comprehensive profiles of loans and cards that we know and trust to improve credit quickly without creating constraints in the future.

What if I start a program and decide to stop?

We'll refund you the difference if you paid up front or terminate your monthly subscription. You shouldn't pay for something if you don't think it helps. However (as you know), the single most important factor in your credit is consistent payments, so make sure you have a plan before cancelling.

How much does it cost?

Most customers choose the $12.97/month option.

Internally we call this the "water" package because it's roughly equivalent to the amount Americans spend on water each month.

What's the catch?

No catch. We can make this offer for two reasons. First, we don't take commissions, so we aren't tied to old pricing structures at credit card companies like some of our competitors. Second, we rely heavily on word-of-mouth, so we don't have to charge a premium for marketing costs.

But... we do have a secret motive. Credit building is a humbling task, the great equalizer in a capitalist society. Like life, it takes patience, can have unpleasant surprises, and sometimes even involves some luck. But unlike life, we ensure you don't make huge mistakes along the way, so you can learn and grow in a healthy way.
