Alex was wonderful! My credit was poor and I never thought repairing it was possible. Im pride to say I have a 727 credit score today! She worked hard removing bad credit information and guided me to build credit! Very grateful
I can’t thank Alexandria enough for her incredible support and expertise. When I started this journey, my credit score was struggling, and I felt overwhelmed. From day one, Alex was not only extremely informative and knowledgeable, but also genuinely caring. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and guided me through every step of the process with patience and kindness. Thanks to their help, my credit score has significantly improved.

I have worked on and off with Starting Now for over 10 years. Melissa is a credit ROCK STAR! She coached me when I wanted to buy a lake house and got amazing results, this was over 10 years ago.

I am about to develop some land and wanted to get the “Exact Same Reports” the banks look at and make some minor adjustments so the banks will chase me with the best rates.

In less than 30 days she had my score up over 55 points and it as close to perfect as it has ever been.

THANK YOU Melissa, keep up the great credit coaching!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and long-standing trust in Starting Now. We’re beyond grateful to have been part of your journey over the years—and wow, what a journey it’s been! From buying a lake house to now developing land… please share with us the beautiful pictures once the project is complete. Melissa will be thrilled to hear your shoutout—she truly is a credit rock star, and we’re so proud of the results she helped you achieve once again. Wishing you continued success!!!!

Working with Melissa Hudson at Starting Now was an extremely positive experience. During what is a stressful and emotional time for family members to repair poor credit, Melissa demonstrated kindness, patience and professionalism at each monthly meeting. She made time to answer every question and walked us through how our actions could affect credit ratings for better or worse. Melissa made us feel heard and respected and never rushed through our meetings. I highly recommend Melissa to others who are serious about putting in the time and effort to repair their financial wellbeing!
