Terrible Company
What makes this especially frustrating is that Kovo isn’t even a traditional credit card company. I was paying them $10 a month for a service that is supposed to help build credit, yet one missed $10 payment ended up doing significant damage to the very credit I was paying them to help build.
I contacted Kovo, explained the circumstances, and asked if they would remove the derogatory mark, but they refused. After paying a company every month specifically for a credit-building service, I find it ridiculous that one overlooked $10 payment could wipe out that progress and drop my score by nearly 30 points.
Based on my experience, I would never recommend Kovo to anyone. If you’re considering paying them to help build your credit, be aware that one missed payment can potentially leave you worse off than when you started. Chime credit building works better.
Response from developer
We're sorry to hear your experience with Kovo hasn't met your expectations. Our installment plan is designed to build payment history through affordable monthly payments rather than a credit card or loan. Your payment history gets reported to the bureaus as it happens, which is what makes each payment, on-time or missed, count toward your credit. We send reminders ahead of each due date and again if a payment is missed, and there's a 30-day window from the original due date to bring the account current before it's reported. We'd be happy to take another look with you if you'd like. Please reach out to support@kovocredit.com and we'll go through your payment history and see what we can do.
