Ways To Resolve A Credit Report Dispute
Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Sandra Stammberger asked:
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act the reporting company and the information provider are responsible for correcting any credit report disputes. However, they must first be made aware that you have credit report disputes. A person can report and correct errors in their credit report by following two easy steps.
Step one is to report your error to the consumer reporting company in writing and make them aware that you have a credit report dispute. Make sure you include all your personal information like your name, address, and a list of each credit report dispute that have. Remember to send your letter by certified mail to prove that you have initiated a credit report dispute. The consumer reporting company will then investigate your credit report disputes and respond in 30 days. If they find there is an error and the credit report dispute can be resolved by correcting it then they will forward the information to the other credit bureaus and your credit report will be revised.
After reviewing your credit report dispute the consumer reporting company may decide that they disagree with the items raised in your credit report dispute and decline to pursue the matter any further. They will send you all of the evidence that they have and the reasons for not pursuing your credit report dispute, along with a copy of your credit report.
Another way to handle a credit report dispute is to contact the particular creditor directly. Again, send the creditor a list of your credit report disputes in writing. Be sure to call your creditor and ask for the specific address of where credit report dispute issues need to be sent to ensure that there is no unnecessary delay in the credit report dispute being investigated. Many companies have a separate address for handling credit report disputes and it can take time for it to be forwarded to the correct address if you do not send it there initially. If you are correct in your credit report dispute and there is an error they will report the error to the credit bureaus and send you notification of the change.
Below is a sample credit report dispute letter :

The 411 on Credit Reports

Carl Smith asked:
Credit Reports - What’s On Them, and How to Check Yours
Businesses in the United States buy more than two billion credit reports every year. Since there are currently fewer than 300 million people in the country, this means that the average adult has his or her credit reports examined by someone about once every other month. And yet, only a small percentage of Americans have ever laid eyes on their own credit reports. Viewing your credit reports at least twice a year is a necessity in today’s electronic age, and while it may not always be free, getting access to your credit reports is much easier and less expensive than it has been at almost any time in history.
What is a Credit Report?
There are three major credit bureaus in the United States. They are Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. These three companies are competitors, and therefore they don’t share information with one another. As a result, your Equifax credit report may be significantly different from your Experian credit report, and your TransUnion report may be different still. Sometimes this is a good thing - if only one of the credit agencies reports a bad history, for example. But more often than not, it’s a headache, since at least one of your credit reports is bound to have some incorrect, negative information on it.
What’s On Your Credit Report?
Although each of the three credit agencies record slightly different information, the following is a basic list of what you’ll find on each of your credit reports: Your name and your spouse’s name. Where you live, where you work, and where you used to live (and used to work). Your social security number, phone number, and birth date. A list of your credit accounts and when you’ve paid your bills - on time, late, late by more than 30 days, late by more than 60 days, etc. How much total credit you have available. Whether and to whom you’ve made an application for credit in the past six months. Which companies have requested and obtained your credit report. And finally, dreaded “public records” - bankruptcies, foreclosures, repossessions, court judgments, convictions, and tax liens.
How Long Does Information Stay On Your Credit Report?
Positive information stays on your credit report indefinitely, which is a good thing. Most negative information should be deleted after seven years, with the exception of certain types of bankruptcy, which can stay on your report for ten years. If one of your credit reports is missing positive information or contains negative information that’s older than seven years, contact the appropriate credit bureau.

Mike Clover asked:
In this article we will discuss the misconception of free credit reports. There are lots of advertisements out there saying get your free credit report. But what exactly does a free credit report come with? I have personally seen about 3 different types of credit reports being advertised out there.
The first type of credit report is the credit report where you only get a credit report from one of the bureaus. There are 3 bureaus, and they are Equifax, Trans Union, and Experian. Typically the offer includes a report only from one of these bureaus. You might ask yourself how does this help me, and the answer is it does not help very much. The reason is since there are 3 bureaus, and they all report somewhat different information; you might want to get a credit report from all three bureaus. This is called a tri-merge, or a 3-1 credit report. In other words you get one report with all three bureaus and what they are currently reporting about you in regards to loans outstanding with your creditors.
The second type of credit report is the 3-1 credit report with credit score. This is somewhat better; you get all three bureaus reporting your information along with only one of the agencies giving a score. Well you might ask yourself again, what is the advantage and disadvantages of this type of credit report? Since there are 3 bureaus reporting your credit, it would only make sense to get all 3 scores since that is what most lenders look at. Mortgage companies pull your 3-1 credit report with all three scores and typically use the middle score for qualifying purposes. If this is the industry standard in the qualifying process, shouldn?t you see the same report? I would have to say yes.
The third type of credit report is the 3-1 credit report with all 3 scores. This is the best type of credit report, because it is what lenders look at. Most people out there getting a free copy of there credit reports are not really sure what they are getting. Annualcreditreport.com advertises that you are entitled to a free copy of your credit report once a year, but fail to mention you don?t get your scores. It is in your best interest to get your credit report with all 3 bureaus and all 3 scores, especially since this is what most creditors look at in the determining process for lending you money.
Here is the break down for credit scores and how they are classified for mortgage:
? 780-850 ? Low Risk
? 740-780 - Medium ?Low Risk
? 690-740- Medium Risk
? 620-690- Medium High Risk
? 620 and Below ? High Risk or ?Sub-Prime.?
With all of this being said, it obviously makes more sense to get your 3-1 credit report with all 3 credit scores. Especially since that is what creditors are looking at. When pulling a consumer credit report it does not affect your credit scores.

John Mcfadden asked:
A consumer credit report is the annual assessment of each person’s credit standing. By knowing what is on your you can get a lot of benefits when you go to get credit based services like loans, credit cards and even rent and phones.
Each year, by law, American citizens are entitled to obtain a free copy of their annual consumer credit report which basically details their credit risk profile. This allows companies who are considering extending some type of credit to the consumer to make an educated decision on the risk of that transaction. The better the credit of the consumer, then the better chance that company has of being paid back by the consumer.
By having a good credit report, a consumer can gain advantages such as cheaper loans and credit cards and avoid the embarrassment of being rejected for things like rental apartments and telephone contracts.
There are three companies which can offer a free consumer credit report (Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax) and are legally obliged to offer that annually.
By knowing what is in your credit report, you can negotiate for better credit condition (if you’re report is good) or you can strive to repair your credit by challenging inaccurate or false items on your report.
To do that, you simply need to obtain a copy, unfortunately you need to actually a report from all three credit bureaus. Why, because lenders don’t report to each bureaus, they just report to one with your past financial information - so if you only obtain a copy of one report then you will not have your complete financial position and history, it is recommended that you get all three reports - they way you know where you stand and you start improving nay negative information, it is common for your personal information to be old or incorrect.
Make sure you update them with your correct address. Be sure not to use companies that claim they can quickly improve your credit score, they are most likely to be scammers.
Assess the items on it that are negatively affecting your credit score and challenge those items to the relevant consumer reporting company. That company is then legally obliged to pursue the matter.
The thing is that challenging your credit report takes knowledge and time and so it may often be a better option to hire a credit reporting company to do the leg work on your behalf.
It’s essential you know how lenders will read and give weight to different parts of your Credit Report:
The American company FiCO has a tool that helps credit bureaus determine your credit score - below is the matrix that is used:
Payment History 35%
Amount Owed 30%
Length of Credit History 15%
New Credit 10%
Types of Credit Used 10%
Such companies know exactly what can be challenged as well as how to do it and who to contact about your credit.
By having a good credit report, you can make your own life a lot easier and cheaper in the long run.
Hopefully this article has been helpful for you and you will now know exactly what yours says.

How Long Until A Repossession Is Removed From Your Credit Report

Court Tuttle asked:
There are several different kinds of information that you will find on your credit report. To name a few of the things that you would find is personal Information, negative and positive information, paid closed accounts, employment, credit inquiries, and your previous addresses.
The negatives that you will see are if you have a bankruptcy, past due payments, unpaid tax liens, and repossessions. Negatives can show on your report for a long time. For paid closed accounts and bankruptcies it is 10 years, for unpaid tax liens it is 15 years, for everything else it is 7 years.
The positives that you will see on your credit report will be when you pay your bills on time. This really helps your credit score. Also this helps you to be able to be approved for a loan, credit card, mortgages, etc. If you have a high credit score then you will have a lower interest rate.
Some employers check the applicants credit before considering hiring that person. This shows on the consumers credit report also. Although it does not affect the consumers credit score.
When you are repairing your credit there are only a few things that you can do. First of all it takes time. If you did fall into hard times then you just have to wait for those to fall off. You also need to keep paying your payments on time. Doing this will put positives on your report helping your credit score.
Next you need to check your credit report once a year. As a consumer you have the right to request a free credit report once every 12 months. You need to make sure that there is not inadequate information on you credit report. If there is, you need to write to the consumer credit company that reported it and have them investigate the situation. It helps if you can provide any information to back up that it is not correct.
When trying to repair your credit you have to watch out for companies that claim they can repair your credit quickly and that they will be able to take things off of your credit. This is a scam. The only way to take some off is what I mentioned above by writing a letter to the consumer credit report companies.
There are three companies that creditors report to. 1. Experian 2. Trans Union 3. Equifax.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) was passed to help protect the consumer. It makes sure that the credit report companies are accurate in the information they collect and fair in their reports. It also protects the privacy of the consumers information given to the consumer credit reporting companies.
Amendments are added to continue to set guide lines for the consumer credit reporting companies to follow, insuring the protection of the consumer. Theses amendments put responsibilities on the companies that gather the information for your credit report.
