In 2016, I became a victim of Identity theft and it felt like my life was over. I had no money, no credit, a job I hated, and BIG GOALS. Something had to give. I began working on my credit and turned it into my passion. I was recovering from bad credit due to identity theft. It was the most terrifying incident to happen to me personally. How could someone steal my personal information and use it to obtain $21,000 worth of debt? I began to notice new inquiries on my report, but like most consumers, I ignored the warning signs, since the thought never crossed my mind that I could even get credit with my scores. I had just defaulted on a $4,000 credit card with Navy Federal, no one would give me anything at this point. Soon enough I received a notification from credit karma for a car valued at $13,000 reporting past due. Then came along $8,000 in furniture including a new 50” TV, a sectional, and a brand new washer and dryer. I immediately called the most popular credit repair company at that time and inquired about their services, I couldn’t afford to add on another bill at that time so I had to figure it all out. Their customer service did not help gain me as a customer either. I called the police department, the car dealership, the furniture store, and anyone who I thought could help me find the person who did this to me. Thank goodness she was found and prosecuted. Do you know what kept me sane throughout this whole ordeal? The fact that I could use my knowledge to help other people is when I made up in my mind that this was part of my testimony. I helped my friends and family for an entire year before I established Personameant Solutions, LLC. I became certified and studied all of the laws pertaining to consumer laws. I’ve invested time and energy to perfect my craft. I began my journey as an entrepreneur in 2017 when I launched my credit repair business.
