What is RushMail and how does it work?
RushMail is CreditRefresh's mailing partner: instead of printing and mailing a dispute letter yourself, choose "Mail partner" and RushMail prints and mails it for a small per-letter fee. Mailing letters yourself stays free and never requires uploads. For a bureau letter, RushMail needs identity documents on file, since bureaus require proof of identity; never to creditor letters.
What RushMail is
RushMail is CreditRefresh's mailing partner. It is a separate print-and-mail service that CreditRefresh connects to your dispute letters, not something CreditRefresh does in-house. Every letter you generate can be handled one of two ways: you print and mail it yourself ("Self" delivery), or RushMail prints and mails it for you ("Mail partner" delivery).
How to use it
On a letter, choosing "Mail partner" instead of "Self" hands that letter to RushMail. Once RushMail has mailed it, the Letter library shows that letter's status as "In delivery" with a Date sent recorded, instead of "Not sent" with a blank date. This is decided per letter, so you can mix delivery methods within the same round: some letters you mail yourself, others through RushMail.
What it costs
Using RushMail costs a small per-letter fee, charged when you check out for the letters you are sending through them. This fee is separate from your CreditRefresh subscription and only applies to the letters you choose to send through Mail partner; letters you handle yourself never carry a fee and need no uploads at all.
Documents RushMail needs for bureau letters
Bureaus require proof of identity, so when RushMail mails a bureau letter for you, it attaches identity documents from your account: ID (front), ID (back), and proof of address. An SSN card is optional. These documents are never attached to creditor letters. You can upload them from Settings, from the Documents page, or by using Upload from your phone to scan them in with your phone's camera.
Free RushMail letters from referrals
Referring a friend who subscribes earns you 5 free RushMail letters. Those credits apply automatically the next time you check out with RushMail: fully covered letters skip payment, and if the credits only cover part of an order, you pay only for the uncovered letters. See "How does the CreditRefresh referral program work?" for details.
Where RushMail shows up in the app
RushMail appears in a few places. On the Letter library, look for Delivery method: Mail partner and Letter status: In delivery to see which letters RushMail is handling. On the Refer a friend page, RushMail is named directly as the partner that prints and mails your referral reward letters. The identity documents RushMail needs for bureau letters live under Settings and the Documents page, alongside the rest of your account details.

After you approve a letter in the app, you choose how it gets mailed: print and mail it yourself, or have RushMail, the mailing partner, send it for a small per-letter fee. Mailing creates a dated paper trail for each dispute, and once the bureau receives the letter, its 30-day investigation window under FCRA Section 611 begins. The platform tracks that window for you.
CreditRefresh rewards you with 5 free RushMail letter credits every time a friend you refer subscribes, not just signs up. Share your referral link from the Refer a friend page in the app. Once your friend's subscription activates, the credits land in your account automatically and apply at checkout the next time you choose RushMail. If your credits cover only part of an order, you pay the rest.
CreditRefresh may ask for an ID front and back, an SSN card, proof of address, or an identity theft report. You only need to upload these if you choose RushMail to mail a bureau dispute letter for you, since bureaus require proof of identity for mailed disputes. Printing and mailing your own letters requires no uploads. What you upload is used only to verify your identity with the bureaus.
CreditRefresh verifies your identity because the credit bureau must confirm it is really you before sharing your report. You provide your Social Security number and date of birth, then answer security questions the bureau generates. Your SSN is encrypted and used only for verification. You can also upload identity documents, mailed with your bureau dispute letters when RushMail sends them.
