What if your credit report is missing information?

Your credit report may not reflect all your credit accounts. Although most national department store and all-purpose credit card accounts will be included in your file, not all creditors supply information to credit reporting agencies: Some travel, entertainment, gasoline card companies, local retailers, and credit unions are among those creditors that don't. If you've been told you were denied credit because of an "insufficient credit file" or "no credit file" and you have accounts with creditors that don't appear in your credit file, ask the credit bureau to add this information to future reports. Although they are not required to do so, many credit agencies will add verifiable accounts for a fee. You should, however, understand that if these creditors do not report to the credit agency on a regular basis, these added items will not be updated in your file.

How do you report a bad debt owed to you to be placed on that person's credit report?

The answer to your question if you have over 500 accounts that are past due is to purchase an enterprise level software that allows you to report to the credit bureaus using a metro 2 format that the bureaus accept files in. The 500 account minimum is imposed by the credit bureaus and you would need to contact Experian, Trans Union, and/or Equifax; set up an agreement to furnish data with them, and update your accounts on a monthly basis. There are several sets of laws governing the reporting of accounts to the credit bureaus including the Fair and accurate credit transactions act (FACTA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) that you should be familiar with prior to doing so.
