What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from real Australians who fixed their credit with us
Your Fresh Start Begins With Expert Help
Elisa Rothschild, Principal Lawyer & Director of Australian Credit Solutions, explains how we help Australians remove defaults and rebuild their credit. With 12+ years experience and ASIC licensing (ACL 532003), you're in expert hands.
Why Gold Coast Residents Choose Us
The Gold Coast property market is booming. Median house prices hit $950,000+ in 2025, and lenders are more cautious than ever about who they approve.
⚠️ One default can be the difference between:
- •Getting your dream home in Burleigh Heads — or missing out
- •Driving a reliable car for work — or catching three buses
- •Starting your business — or staying stuck in a dead-end job
Here's what most people don't know: most defaults, judgements, and enquiries can be removed — if you know how to challenge them properly. That's where we come in.

How We Remove Defaults for Gold Coast Residents
Free Credit File Audit
We pull your credit reports from all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, illion) and identify every listing that can be challenged.
Legal Compliance Review
We check every default, judgement, and enquiry against Australian credit reporting laws (Privacy Act 1988). Even one error gives us grounds for removal.
Formal Dispute Process
We lodge disputes with credit bureaus and creditors on your behalf — using legal precedent and credit reporting codes to build an ironclad case.
Verification & Confirmation
Once removed, we verify the deletion across all three bureaus and provide you with updated credit reports showing your clean file.

Gold Coast Property Market Insights (2025–2026)
Why fixing your credit NOW matters more than ever
Translation: If you want to buy on the Gold Coast, you need clean credit and fast pre-approval. Every week you wait with defaults on your file is another week of rising prices and missed opportunities.
Common Questions from Gold Coast Clients
How much does credit repair cost on the Gold Coast?
Pricing depends on the complexity of your case. We offer free credit assessments and transparent quotes with no hidden fees.
Can I remove defaults myself?
Technically yes, but it's difficult. Credit bureaus and creditors rarely respond to individual disputes. Our legal expertise and industry relationships get results individuals can't achieve alone.
How long does default removal take?
30–90 days on average. Some cases resolve faster, complex cases may take longer.
Will this hurt my credit score?
No. Disputing a default does not damage your credit score. Successful removal dramatically improves it.
What if I already paid the default?
Paying a default doesn't remove it. It changes the status to "paid," but it still sits on your credit file for 5 years. Removal requires formal dispute — which is what we do.
Do you work with Gold Coast mortgage brokers?
Yes. We partner with several Gold Coast brokers and can refer you to lenders who specialise in non-conforming loans if needed.
