Guide reviewer

Ross LaPietra

CEO of Credit Saint since 2007. Owner of Bolster. Reviewer of WalletMD's guides.

Ross LaPietra has spent his career helping people understand and take control of their credit. He has led Credit Saint, a credit repair company, since it was founded in September 2007. Before that, he owned a mortgage company, where he saw how much a credit report shapes what people can borrow and what they pay. He also owns Bolster, a free financial wellness app.

Credit without shame

Most people with credit problems got there through a job loss, a medical bill, a divorce or a mistake that isn't theirs. Ross's view is that nobody should feel embarrassed to look at their credit report or ask for help. WalletMD's guides are written in that spirit: plain English, no judgment, and the free options first.
