What this means for you

After a storm, bills can pile up while you’re dealing with repairs, insurance claims and lost work. Late payments and collections from that period can follow you for years if they’re reported wrong.

  • Check deferrals. Payments you were told to skip shouldn’t show as late.
  • Check insurance-related bills. Charges that insurance or FEMA covered shouldn’t be in collections.
  • You can dispute for free. We handle the paperwork and follow-up for you.

Disaster recovery

Recovering from a storm in Houston? Protect your credit too.

Most lenders have hardship programs for customers affected by a declared disaster. The key is to ask early and get the details in writing.

Four steps to take

1. Call lenders before you miss a payment

Ask about disaster forbearance or deferral on your mortgage, car loan and cards. Many lenders offer relief after a declared disaster.

2. Get it in writing

Ask the lender to confirm the new terms and how the account will be reported to the credit bureaus.

3. Check your reports afterward

Lenders can flag accounts affected by a declared disaster. Make sure agreed-upon skipped payments aren’t reported as late.

4. Watch for scams

Disasters bring fake contractors and fake relief offers. FEMA doesn’t charge to apply for assistance.

Thinking about buying? Ask about flood zones and insurance costs before you commit. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation (TSAHC) offer homebuyer loan programs and down payment assistance for eligible buyers through participating lenders.

Houston credit repair FAQ

Common questions

Will a disaster forbearance hurt my credit?
If your lender agrees to a forbearance or deferral, payments made under that agreement generally shouldn’t be reported as late. Ask the lender to confirm how it will report the account.
Does FEMA assistance affect my credit?
No. Applying for or receiving FEMA disaster assistance isn’t reported to the credit bureaus.
What if a storm-related late payment was reported anyway?
If the payment was covered by an agreement with your lender, you can dispute it. Keep copies of letters or emails confirming the arrangement.
Will checking my credit hurt my score?
No. Reviewing your own credit is a soft inquiry and doesn’t affect your scores.
How long does credit repair take?
The bureaus generally have 30 days to investigate a dispute (up to 45 in some cases). Timelines depend on how many items are involved and how creditors respond. Results vary, and no one can legally guarantee a specific score or deletion.
How much does it cost?
The credit analysis is free. If you choose to enroll, you can compare our packages. Under the federal Credit Repair Organizations Act, we can’t charge for services before they’re performed, and you can cancel within three business days of signing.
