Credit Repair Compliance Orientation
Welcome to the Credit Repair Compliance Orientation course at Credzu University.
Rather than diving into the depth of particular laws and rules like the Credit Repair Organizations Act or the credit repair provision of the Telemarketing Sales Rule, we will look at the concept of compliance, generally, for the purpose of understanding:
- The origin of regulations and why they exist.
- The benefit of compliance.
- The consequence of noncompliance.
Credit repair organizations are subject to laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local levels. These laws and regulations are designed to protect consumers by ensuring that credit repair organizations operate lawfully, fairly, and transparently. In other words, these laws and regulations are designed to prevent credit repair organizations from engaging in unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices.
This course is designed to give you a broad understanding of compliance, how it affects your business as a credit repair organization, and how to develop systems and processes to ensure that your organization complies with the law.
All credit repair companies should take this free course to orient themselves to compliance concepts and spark curiosity about the laws that regulate the industry. The journey to legal operational practices begins here.
Introduction to this course.
One of the instructors welcomes you to the course and talks about the introductory lessons.
Before you take a course, you'll likely want to know what it's about. This lesson goes over and sets the anticipated outcomes you can expect by taking it.
It's important to distinguish between legal advice on which you can rely and education that prepares you to engage with a lawyer. This disclosure course explains the difference so you understand that Credzu University does not provide tax, legal or financial advice.
If you're going to take a course, you might also want to know a bit about those teaching it. This lesson introduces you to Robert Sigman and Cory Miller from Credzu. And, it explains a bit why you might want to consider their perspective on compliance issues.
This quiz evaluates your understanding from the lessons in section one of the credit repair compliance orientation course.

Understanding compliance.
This lesson talks about the origins of compliance, in general. This helps understand later lessons about credit repair compliance.
Before getting into details, we give an overview of compliance so that everything else makes sense in this context.
This lesson explains a very important concept; Bad corporate behavior leads to regulation.
The rules apply to everyone, including the government. Regulation also needs to be regulated. This lesson explains why and gives a few examples.
The problem in our industry is that we're closer to 0% compliant than 100% compliant. Our goal is to move that pendulum as far away from 0% and as close to 100% as possible.
This quiz evaluates your understanding of compliance, generally (not specific to any particular law or rule).
