Contact the three credit reporting agencies directly. First get a free copy of your report at annunalcreditreport.com if you have not already.

Alternate names can be found under other, alias or aka. Also listed with creditors on your file. If it is under other names variations and you don't have any open account with the misspelling you can have them removed by disputing online, postal mail or by phone providing your personal information.

If it however is the primary name on your credit file I have found that not all credit agencies will correct or remove. If accounts are still open with the wrong spelling of your name you should contact the creditors directly and ask them to correct. If the name is not yours and not your account dispute.

Good luck.

You have two different credit reports with the exact same informaton so why is your credit score have a 100 point difference?

ANSWER: There are many variables. # What is the time difference between the two credit reports? Hours, days, or weeks? Creditors report to the bureaus on different days. That is why when you pull your credit report it will show a balance on one of your credit cards and you say to yourself "wait a minute I payed that card down to zero". The reason is the creditor you paid down didn't report the balance to the "Credit Reporting Agency" yet. # Did you pull the credit report yourself or did a company pull it? I have found credit report scores differ when pulled by the consumer or by a company. Credit ReportAgencys recognize social security numbers first, name spelling second, primary address of consumer last. If any of those items are changed, misspelled by one letter, etc., credit scores will differ.
