Absolutely BS I canceled all the accounts a year ago and was told it was canceled yet here we are with them saying I owe the $420 and its on my credit. They refused to anything. They say I did cancel 2 account but not the last. The first guy said it's crazy they all didn't canceled but I could either pay it to get it off my credit or leave it.

Please do not use this company to build your credit. Not only do you not get your money back that you pay into this, it's a ripoff, do not use their service. Please use credit karma credit building. At least the money that you're using to pay on that.You can get back as cash for purchases that you may need. This is a scam.
★★★★ Rilriia Kilurden 7/2/2026 v1.173.2871
Total scam. You can only report rent and utilities (incl. phone) IF your bank uses their third-party software. Ask the chat bot what they plan on using if they can't access your payment history and you get a massive run around where it says you can upload the information but not HOW to. When canceling the service (w/in 20 mins), you get a scare tactic telling you that your cancelation can cause a negative report to credit companies-which was NOT disclosed. Now they want to give me payday loans.
★★★★ Renee Levesque 7/2/2026 v1.173.2871
I took the lowest payment option they showed a credit score for me but in reality I have NO credit score .. i paid since February of 2026 thinking every time they showed a credit score increase that it was legit .... come to find out I have no credit score thanks for taking my money for the last 5 months giving me a fake credit score smh not worth the money not even 5$ a month smh .. who the hell wants to pay a company and not have real credit score impacted scam
★★★★ roshawn leftwich 7/2/2026

★★★★ Mattie Adams 7/2/2026 v1.137.2044
it's a lie I signed up for this months ago paid the $5 a month I never even got the 750 credit line what they fail to say you have pay for the premium in order to get the 750!credit and my credit hadn't went up at all so it's a lie don't not recommend and I had it for it for year never once got credit or card so it's false don't use this app
★★★★ Tabitha McKinney 7/2/2026 v1.79.977
This app doesn't give you money. It starts you out with a BILL to pay AND you have to pay the BILL. I've got enough BILLS to add another one. This app is a scam, and when you try to cancel it keeps charging you. I literally had to close out my bank account and get new account numbers and debit cards because they wouldn't stop. Unless you like paying bills don't get this app it's a scam
★★★★ Shinimura Kamugami 7/2/2026

★★★★ Vernie Ashby 7/2/2026 v1.173.2871
Okay, this was not what I thought it was.What's the point of getting $2500?If you can't actually use the money??!!!!
★★★★ Jonathan Hetrick 7/1/2026
it's a bunch of bs you don't actually get a line of credit you just pay $5 a month you don't get to spend a lot of credit so like get an ad that tells you the truth that'd be awesome otherwise why would people want to trust you
★★★★ Tony Reininger 7/1/2026

★★★★ Robin McNamara 6/29/2026
why would I start paying for something I have not received it's a scam don't believe they are trying to help you when all they are doing is helping themselves....shame on you shame shame on you
★★★★ Aksam Rafiz 6/29/2026 v1.173.2871
Scam, I subscribed for 5 dollars for months on end only to be told there's an issue with my credit score. Then radio silence for months again . They advertised I would get all my money back in the end when I opened the account but I guess that doesn't apply to my account type, shady practice.
★★★★ Dana Shults 6/29/2026 v1.141.2160
ok keep tagging my credit cause I'm not paying and u won't let me get in to unsubscribe. predatory behaviour is illegal. look what happen to Amazon when they tried to keep ppl from unsubscribing... not smart devs

"Kik" cause it's predator lol
★★★★ Sean Burton 6/28/2026 v1.173.2871
I paid off my savings loan and closed my credit account and they designed to steal my savings and charge me for the credit account. the phone agent refused to help and said that they are permitted to keep the money
★★★★ Lakin Adams 6/28/2026 v1.173.2871
I have tried to just simply log into this app. and it will not even let me do that. it does not work for me at all and it will not give me any excuse as to why.
★★★★ Melissa Fahy 6/28/2026
total scam app mislead you to believe that you will receive some sort of credit card you don't get that unless you pay more money then it's your money you put in it.then they say you don't have to do auto pay but you can't open the account without agreeing auto pay .then it says you have 45 days money back guarantee but it then it's gonna report your cancellation and I haven't even had the app 1 hour before I decided I didn't want to keep the app or anything to do with it its a scam yall
★★★★ Pamela Colburn 6/27/2026

★★★★ Daryl Wright 6/27/2026 v1.137.2044
you pay a small fee for this app and when you decide you're done it'll claim your late on your fee and that keeps on snowballing and snowballing and before you know it you have bad credit again. in other words It wants you to pay them forever for better credit.
★★★★ Brandy Taylor 6/27/2026 v1.173.2871
I can't even get into the app I agreed to what it asks but it doesn't seem to do anything so I will be uninstalling it
★★★★ Sid Moore 6/27/2026 v1.140.2125
