The cost of credit repair is small compared to the cost of living with bad credit. Below are a few examples of the cost of bad credit.

This added interest shows up every month in a higher payment.
Good Credit- with a 3% interest rate, you would only pay $1796 in interest over 5 years
Slightly Damaged Credit- with a 9% interest rate, you would pay as much as $5646 in interest over 5 years.
Damaged Credit- with an 18% interest rate, you would pay $12,042 in interest over 5 years.
High Credit Score- with a 4% interest rate, you would only pay $86,243 in interest over 30 years.
With Slightly Damaged Credit- with a 7% interest rate, you would pay $167,410 in interest over 30 years.
With Damaged Credit- you may not get financed, but if you do, it is likely with 20% down payment and a high interest rate.

A credit score is a numerical ranking system that lenders use to determine how much of a credit risk you are. A credit score is a numeric indication of how likely you are to repay debts such as loans or lines of credit. Lenders use this number to determine how much of a credit risk you are. Credit scores also are designed to indicate your creditworthiness in comparison with other consumers. Credit scores are based on the data in your credit report and are generated by computers using artificial intelligence. Usually a credit score is between the numbers 300 to 850. The higher your score, the more "creditworthy" you are to lenders.
Credit scoring is based on many factors that may include: Amount of available credit Payment history Recent requests for credit Amount of credit currently being used Length of credit history Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, credit scoring may not use gender, martial status, national origin, race, or religion as factors.
