Any issues concerning your credit worthiness will be discussed and an action plan will be outlined. Rooted Communities will be your partner and guide you in the right direction!
How much will this cost?
The only cost to customers of Rooted Communities is a $45 fee for a tri-merged credit report. Any counseling or education is free.
