With LSI Credit Solutions, Consumers Can Fix Their Credit in As Little as 90 Days and Gain Access to Its Unique Lifetime Credit Protection Plan

In a Nutshell: LSI Credit Solutions Founder Serge Bagdasarov understands that building and maintaining good credit is essential in today’s world. After beating brain cancer and seeing the mortgage company he worked for sink, Bagdasarov decided to start LSI with the guiding principle of “Good people deserve good credit.” Bagdasarov said LSI can help customers repair their credit and get on the right financial track in an average of 90 to 120 days. The company’s credit repair service not only establishes a plan to turn customers’ credit around, it also initiates disputes and negotiations on the customer’s behalf. Additionally, LSI offers a Lifetime Credit Protection Plan that continually monitors and evaluates credit and comes with a $1 million identity fraud protection policy.

Serge Bagdasarov — the Founder of LSI Credit Solutions — came up through the ranks of the mortgage industry, starting as a teenager in a telemarketing department in the late ‘90s. By the early 2000s, Bagdasarov was training loan officers and running the marketing department at the company he worked for.

Although he was on the lending side, Bagdasarov began to empathize with consumers with less-than-stellar credit who were being turned down for loans. He explored partnerships with credit repair companies that could help his potential mortgage clients turn things around and secure a loan.

Serge Bagdasarov is the Founder of LSI Credit Solutions.

“I would interview these credit repair companies, and, unfortunately, I couldn’t hear satisfying answers to my questions,” Bagdasarov said. “The companies I found were not telling their customers the way things actually were.”

Then, in 2003, Bagdasarov was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer.

“The doctors basically sent me home to die,” Bagdasarov said. “But I beat it, by God’s grace and mercy. I went home one day after a seven-hour brain surgery.”

The whole ordeal shifted Bagdasarov’s perspective on life. That’s why, when the mortgage company he was working for declared bankruptcy around the same time he and his wife bought their first house and had a son, Bagdasarov decided to launch LSI Credit Solutions.

Bagdasarov saw an opportunity to help the kinds of people his previous employer had to turn down for mortgages. With the guiding principle of “Good people deserve good credit,” Bagdasarov set out to establish an honest and effective credit solutions company that could really help people.

Bagdasarov was able to put his new mission at LSI Credit Solutions to the test in a short time. He said one day, shortly after launching LSI, he was sitting in his first, small and cramped office when some good people who were struggling walked in.

“This family came in with six children, and they squeezed into my little office with all these car seats and strollers,” he said. “They were in a bad spot and looking for a way to get back on the right path. They had like 30 payments that were in collections or accruing late fees.”

Bagdasarov helped the family become debt-free within six months and qualify for a mortgage on their dream home.

“It was very inspiring and encouraging to be able to help people in that way,” he said. “It’s not just about securing a mortgage. Credit is so important to so many aspects of people’s lives these days.”

From buying a cellphone to paying for car insurance, Bagdarasov said credit plays a major role in people’s ability to navigate in society today. Some employers even use a credit metric called a hiring risk index. These are often used when an organization is clearing a potential candidate to hold a government position or a military job, he said.

Plus, many consumers don’t realize the benefits of going from good credit to great credit, Bagdasarov said.

“If you have good credit and can improve it enough to get into what is considered to be great credit, it can make a huge difference in your financial life,” he said. “You can save tens of thousands of dollars over the course of a 30-year mortgage. It even makes a big difference for a five-year auto loan.”

LSI Credit Solutions offers two main services — credit repair and credit protection.

A consumer’s first step toward good credit is to get out of debt and improve his or her standing among the credit rating agencies. LSI offers a number of tactics to get consumers out of debt and improve their credit scores, Bagdasarov said.

Package prices start with a one-time enrollment fee of $299.99 and $59.99 a month thereafter, which gives clients access to LSI’s credit experts and numerous tools to turn their credit lives around. For those who can’t afford the one-time enrollment fee, the company offers an option to pay $79.99 a month with no up-front fee.

Packages include a personal client manager and settlement coordinator who will provide a detailed review of the client’s three-bureau credit report and establish a strategic plan to restore and build credit.

Bagdasarov said each case is unique, but on average, LSI helps clients meet their credit repair goals in 90 to 120 days.

Watch on

The LSI team leads investigations and initiates disputes with creditor and credit bureaus on behalf of clients, Bagdasarov said. The company will also negotiate and make payment arrangements for defaulted bills, including medical bills, traffic tickets, and rent payments on validated collection accounts.

Once a settlement or payment plan is agreed upon, he said the client will pay the creditor directly rather than sending their payments to LSI, an arrangement that sets the company apart from many other credit repair companies.

“We also work with special attorneys who review the mail our clients receive from collections agencies,” Bagdasarov said. “There are laws that collections agencies are supposed to follow when they send out mail, but many of them have all kinds of violations that our attorneys can identify.”

He said each violation can cost the collections agencies about $1,000 under the Fair Debt Collection Practices. And LSI clients receive up to 25% of the total awarded settlement if attorneys win the case.

Bagdasarov said another key service the company offers is debt negotiations on verified collections.

“Back when I was interviewing credit repair companies, I found that none of them would offer to help negotiate any unpaid verified collections. They told me if it’s verified, the consumer has to hire a debt settlement company or attorney,” he said. “That’s simply not true.”

Once consumers turn their credit around, it is important for them to maintain good credit and to protect it as well, Bagdasarov said.

“We have a holistic approach to restoring credit,” said Bagdasarov in a press release. “My goal is to teach people how to have great credit, know their rights, build credit with their own money and live free of collections.”

That’s where LSI’s Lifetime Credit Protection Plan comes in. The plan costs $19.99 per month and comes with a number of valuable benefits.

LSI offers a Lifetime Credit Protection Plan that helps customers maintain good credit and protect against fraud.

“Our unique lifetime plan offers protection for the entire family,” he said. “One out of 10 children becomes a victim of identity theft. It’s one of the top crimes in America right now. We offer a $1 million identity fraud insurance policy for the entire family. The whole household is protected.”

Customers receive a free yearly credit report covering all three bureaus as well as an annual credit audit by LSI’s credit experts.

“No other service will show you a more detailed three-score report,” Bagdasarov said. The plan also includes access to a credit score simulator that helps predict future scores as well as monitoring services for customers’ VantageScore, Hiring Risk Index, auto, and insurance credit scores.

Bagdasarov said clients typically enlist LSI Credit Solutions for its credit repair services, and once they have completed their credit repair plan they have the option to gain access to the lifetime protection plan.

“Once they meet their initial credit goals, customers will typically opt out of the credit repair service, and then they can keep our Lifetime Credit Protection Plan if they choose,” he said.

LSI Credit Solutions’ home base is in Washington, and Bagdasarov said the company currently provides its services in Texas as well. But it is poised to expand into the national market.

“We have our attorneys finalizing our compliance and licensing documents right now, so we’re ready to help people nationwide at this point,” he said.

Bagdasarov said LSI also believes in giving back to the community. The company focuses efforts on working with nonprofits and offers educational programs to people who have recently been released from prison or are in rehabilitation centers. “There is no magic wand in credit repair so education is the big key,” he said.

Finally, new for 2019, Bagdasarov said the company is rolling out special pricing for society’s heroes.

“We appreciate our heroes,” he said. “I’m talking about members of the military, firefighters, law enforcement officials, and health care workers. So we’re offering our services at an even better price for these people who do so much for society.”
