Ali Zane
As a leading authority in consumer finance, banking, identity theft, financial planning, and credit repair, I bring over two decades of expertise to the industry. I've held executive roles in mortgage, real estate, and automotive finance. In 2004, I founded Imax Credit Repair to address the need for ethical and effective credit repair services. Since then, our firm has helped over 36,000 individuals improve their credit, allowing them to qualify for mortgage and business loans.
At Imax Credit Repair, we specialize in consumer finance litigation and offer a strategic, legal-based approach to resolving credit issues. With the support of associate attorneys, we pursue legal action against banks and credit bureaus when necessary, ensuring our clients receive the justice and resolution they deserve. This unique legal expertise sets our firm apart and has our firm voted "Best of Yelp" without a single dissatisfied paying client .
I also host the “Credit Conversation Podcast” on Apple Podcasts, where I provide expert insights on finance and credit. Additionally, our blog has attracted over 400,000 readers, and through our FICO certification program, I train and certify lending professionals, ensuring they have the expertise to help their clients succeed in a competitive market.
