It’s a very long story but I’m will try to make it short cause I still wonder how it happened. I contacted ACE CYBER GROUP concerning my credit score they requested for all my details and I provided it immediately. They told me to be calm and hope for good results. After 48hours they increased my credit score from 450 to 780 and 5 days later they removed all negative items. I must confess that they are nothing but the best out there. Thank you one more time for your amazing service. For those interested can also contact them on all your credit related issues via [email protected]
