Bad Credit Agency

Any good credit repair companies in the bay area?

I've been trying to improve my credit score, I need to get a loan, and I've heard that the "rapid rescore" thing they offer is basically just disputing a bunch of entries at once, so they can approve you while the entries aren't listed, and afterwards they just come back verified and it's even worse than before. I tried disputing a few things myself, one wasn't even in my name, but it came back verified anyway O_o. I've seen plenty of advertisements for credit repair companies, but I've also heard plenty of horror stories about em (I work at a bank, go figure -_-). Does anyone have any past experience with companies around the bay area?
