Fix Bad Credit

Credit fix experts helping to remove your worry and restore your rating

It’s amazing how much three little numbers can impact our financial lives. For Australians struggling to fix bad credit scores, the reality of the situation is all too real — and it’s why many choose to seek expert credit repair advice. 

The team behind Real Credit Repairers can help show you how to fix bad credit, restore bad credit ratings and get you the financial stability you deserve. With hundreds of online reviews and millions of dollars saved, we do everything we can to negotiate debts, remove black marks, and help you access greater financial opportunities.

Can you really fix bad credit?

Yes — with the right support, bad credit can be fixed. While you can’t magically erase every financial slip-up, many negative items on your credit report can be challenged, negotiated, or removed entirely — especially if they’re unfair, outdated, or listed without proper procedure.

We work with you (and on your behalf) to remove the black marks that are holding you back — and where removal isn’t possible, we guide you on how to rebuild and recover your score quickly.

What is considered ‘bad credit’?

“Bad credit” generally refers to a credit score that falls in the lower range of a credit bureau’s scoring system. It means lenders are more likely to see you as a high-risk borrower, making it harder (and more expensive) to access credit, loans or even phone plans.

What are credit score ranges in Australia?

Each credit reporting agency uses its own scale, but here’s a general breakdown of what’s considered bad, average, and good credit in Australia:

Equifax (0 to 1200):

  • 0–509: Below average

  • 510–621: Average

  • 622–725: Good

  • 726–832: Very good

  • 833–1200: Excellent

Experian (0 to 1000):

  • 0–549: Below average

  • 550–624: Fair

  • 625–699: Good

  • 700–799: Very good

  • 800–1000: Excellent

illion (0 to 1000):

  • 0–299: Low

  • 300–499: Room for improvement

  • 500–699: Average

  • 700–799: Great

  • 800–1000: Excellent

A score below the “average” range could lead to rejections, higher interest rates or financial restrictions — but that’s where we come in.

Clarifying what can be removed — and what can’t

Not everything on your credit report can (or should) be removed — and we’re upfront about that.

Items that can be removed include:

  • Incorrect, duplicated or outdated listings

  • Listings entered without proper legal notice

  • Defaults caused by identity theft or fraud

  • Mistakes made by creditors or reporting agencies

We cannot remove:

  • Accurate listings that follow the correct legal process

  • Negative listings based on unpaid, legitimate debts where all regulations were followed

But don’t stress — our team can help you assess which entries on your credit report may be eligible for removal.

Bad credit rating repair does NOT include

Real Credit Repairers are a powerhouse for credit score repair, but we have limitations.

We do have years of experience and established relationships with creditors, which smooths out and simplifies the entire process — meaning you won’t have to tackle the complexities yourself.

However, our credit repair experts also can’t remove accurate information from your credit score. We also cannot help you budget or manage your finances. If you need help managing your spending or staying out of debt, you may want to consider a financial advisor.

FAQs about fixing bad credit

  • Credit agencies are typically responsible for calculating credit scores. The actual rating can differ from agency to agency. However, if we are to take an example from one of the country’s largest credit reporting agencies, Equifax, a bad score lies between -200 and 310. To provide context, the score ranges from -200 to 1200.

    Two years - repayment history

    Five years - court actions and enquiries

Melvin and Grace put in a lot of effort (and passion) into my case to achieve my default removal and other historic negative factors being removed. My credit score has gone from below average to excellent. It took longer than expected to achieve this but my trust was well founded. Thanks to the entire team at Real Credit Repairers for giving me control of my future back again after a brutal divorce settlement.
