Best Answer

When you dispute an item on your credit report you write a letter to the company and tell them what is wrong and why. This can be very hard to get done because often the credit reporting companies ignore these letters. It can be as simple as an wrong address listed on your report or to something more harmful, but you have to keep it up to get them to change it ( keep copies of your letters).

The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires creditors to report your account accurately, and the credit bureaus are required to maintain records that match the reporting. The bureaus are not responsible for the accuracy of the reported account information as they do not have access to the account records for each creditor. If you dispute the accuracy of an item, they request a response from the creditor, at which point the creditor must either show that your dispute is invalid, that your dispute is indeed valid, or fail to respond in a timely manner (failure to respond will mean the dispute is accepted and the item corrected or removed).
