Non-Guarantee Disclosure

PATH TO KEYES, LLC DOES NOT GUARANTEE CREDIT SCORE INCREASES, FICO IMPROVEMENTS, OR THE REMOVAL OF ACCURATE, TIMELY, OR NON-OBSOLETE NEGATIVE INFORMATION FROM ANY CREDIT REPORT. CREDIT PROFILES VARY SIGNIFICANTLY BY CLIENT, AND HISTORICAL RESULTS ARE NOT A GUARANTEE OF FUTURE OUTCOMES. WE DO NOT PROMISE “FAST RESULTS,” “QUICK FIXES,” OR AUTOMATIC SCORE DELETIONS. ACTUAL RESULTS DEPEND ENTIRELY ON INDIVIDUAL DEBT PROFILES, TIMELY PAYMENTS, AND CREDITOR COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW.

Mobile Carrier Keyword Safeguards

To maintain strict compliance with mobile telecommunications regulations and A2P 10DLC vetting protocols, the Company strictly prohibits the use of high-risk financial marketing keywords on its platforms. Our documentation, public text, and mobile transactional alerts are strictly classified under “Financial Education” and “Transactional Customer Support”.

3. Consumer Disclosures & Success Rates

Pursuant to the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) and state Credit Services Organization (CSO) statutes, and to prevent the deceptive billing omissions criticized in Harris v. My Credit Guy, L.L.C., the Company provides the following historical performance disclosures:.

No Waiver Of Consumer Rights (15 U.S.C. § 1679g)

YOU HAVE A STATUTORY RIGHT TO SUE ANY CREDIT REPAIR ORGANIZATION THAT VIOLATES THE CREDIT REPAIR ORGANIZATIONS ACT. YOU CANNOT WAIVE THESE RIGHTS, AND NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO WAIVE, LIMIT, OR RESTRICT YOUR NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS UNDER FEDERAL OR STATE LAW.

We explicitly reject and omit any arbitration, choice-of-law, or forum-selection clauses that operate as a waiver of consumer protection rights or force clients to litigate outside of their residential state jurisdictions.

4. Automated Digital-Only Onboarding & Telemarketing Safe Harbor

To comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) (16 C.F.R. Part 310) and insulate the Company from telemarketing liability, Path to Keyes, LLC operates under a Telemarketing Safe Harbor.

  • Self-Service Execution Required: All clients must enroll, review disclosures, execute their written contract, and authorize their payment billing details in a completely automated, self-directed, digital-only environment.
  • No Pre-Contract Consultations: The Company, its employees, and virtual assistants are strictly prohibited from conducting pre-sale consultative phone calls, pre-sale inbound discovery calls, or pre-sale live video consultations prior to the client’s execution of the written service agreement.
  • Zero Verbal Inducement: You acknowledge that your enrollment was initiated and executed entirely by you via our digital web intake forms, without any interactive verbal or telephonic sales coaching. This structural boundary separates the Company’s digital workflow from telemarketing regulations, enabling the lawful operation of our standard monthly billing-in-arrears structure.

5. Billing Sequence & Arrears Formula

The Company charges no upfront fees for setup, credit audit preparation, or intake administration. Our billing sequence is powered by Stripe and is governed by strict chronological compliance constraints.

The Chronological Arrears Formula

  1. $0 Initial Fee: You are charged exactly $0.00 at the moment of onboarding.
  2. Service Performed Prior to Charge: Your baseline credit file analysis is fully performed, generated, and delivered to you before any subscription fee trial is started.
  3. 30-Day Billing Deferral: Your card on file is not charged the recurring monthly service fee of $99.00 until exactly thirty (30) days after the baseline audit has been transmitted.

Independence Of Onboarding Triggers

Your monthly subscription billing cycle is strictly handled by Stripe under the arrears rule and is legally independent of the educational access trigger. Access to the gated eBook library is unlocked when you sign your service contract.

6. Specialized Fintech Integrations & Third-Party Disclosures

Path to Keyes, LLC integrates specialized financial technology APIs, specifically Credit Hero Score, to construct and optimize your comprehensive mortgage readiness profile. Within this integrated ecosystem, Credit Hero Score serves as the primary native tri-bureau data feed, while Path to Keyes M.A.P. is used for advanced simulation math, debt-to-income (DTI) target modeling, and generating your Mortgage Action Plan (M.A.P.). By agreeing to our terms, you acknowledge and authorize these integrated workflows.

A. Credit Hero Score (CHS) Native Monitoring

Continuous analysis of your credit file requires an active, external, and uninterrupted credit monitoring connection.

  • Monitoring Mandate: You are required to maintain an active subscription to Credit Hero Score, our natively integrated tri-bureau monitoring partner. This connection allows our team to retrieve credit reports via a single-click API without requiring your external portal passwords.
  • Pricing & Terms: Credit Hero Score is billed independently at $27.99/month following a $1.00 7-day trial.

7. B2B Referral Portal & RESPA Section 8 Safeguards

To support collaborative mortgage planning, the Company operates a secure B2B partner portal (affiliates.pathtokeyes.com) for licensed Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Loan Officers (LOs), and community housing counselors. This portal is governed by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) Section 8.

RESPA Compliance & Prohibition Of Referral Fees

UNDER RESPA SECTION 8(a), IT IS A FEDERAL CRIME TO GIVE OR ACCEPT ANY FEE, KICKBACK, OR THING OF VALUE IN EXCHANGE FOR REFERRALS OF SETTLEMENT SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH A FEDERALLY RELATED MORTGAGE LOAN. PATH TO KEYES, LLC PAYS NO REFERRAL FEES, OFFERS NO COMMISSION SPLITS, AND PROVIDES NO FINANCIAL PAYOUTS, CREDITS, OR REWARDS TO LENDING OR REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS. THE B2B PORTAL IS STRICTLY A NON-COMPENSATED TRACKING INTERFACE.

8. External Advertisements & Manual Referrals
