Common questions, answered clearly.
These answers focus on the questions people usually have before they book a consultation or decide whether the audit makes sense.
What clients usually want to know first.
The questions below focus on trust, expectations, timing, privacy, and what happens after the first conversation.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The first consultation is free and designed to help you understand whether a deeper review may be worth it before you commit to the audit.
Do I need to upload documents for the free call?
No. Document uploads are not required for the first consultation. If the audit makes sense after that conversation, we explain what documents would be needed for the deeper review.
Do I need to provide my Social Security number?
No. The free consultation does not require a Social Security number, account logins, or document uploads.
What happens after the free call?
If a deeper review makes sense, the next step may be the $199 Audit and Education Package. We explain what it includes before you decide whether to move forward.
What is included in the $199 audit?
The audit includes credit report analysis, a Credit Health Scorecard, a Financial Recovery & Growth Blueprint, a 30-minute audit review, and a membership recommendation.
Can you guarantee results?
No. Lionel Group Strategies focuses on realistic expectations and structured guidance rather than guaranteed score changes, deletions, or approvals.
How long does credit improvement take?
Timing depends on the starting profile, the issues being reviewed, reporting timelines, and how consistently the process is followed.
Is credit monitoring required?
Credit monitoring may be required depending on the support path selected after the audit. The pricing page explains which monthly paths require monitoring separately and which include it.
What if I do not need ongoing service?
That is okay. The consultation and audit are designed to help you understand your situation and make a better decision, even if ongoing service is not the right fit.
