Our work began in 2018, when Latarra helped relatives and friends clean up reports and budget into homes and cars with fair interest rates. Seeing their lives change led to the formal launch of Vigor Financial Credit Academy in August 2021, which now supports hundreds through compliant credit repair, books, and online courses.
We focus on long term financial change, not quick fixes. That means education, online tools, and transparent consumer law compliance, plus charitable support for families caring for seriously ill children, so each credit file we improve also reflects our values of integrity, community uplift, and breaking generational financial curses.
Certified guidance, lawful processes, and community-focused education that support real, lasting credit change.
