Therefor the bureaus are gong to see thing from the creditors point of view.With the above in mind, understand that the bureaus are not on your side, therefore you cannot continue to deal with them as though they are some fair minded arbitrators, they are not.* NEVER, EVER send the bureaus a registered or certified letter, they will simply ignore it and your issue will never have a chance of being resolved.SECOND you should contact the creditor (via phone or email) that is reporting the information that you are disputing and attempt to get them to "correct" or update the information.* Depending upon the response that you get from the supplier of the disputed information, you can then attempt to utilize their response to get the bureaus to "correct" the reporting of the information in your credit file.DO NOT EVER INCLUDE A CONSUMER STATEMENT in your credit file. This only serves to put all future creditors on notice that you have had some sort of dispute with another creditor and they will adopt the position that you must be a poor credit risk and will treat you accordingly.Remember the lessons that your mother taught you. You attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.Never threaten the bureaus, because that will get you absolutely nothing. just quietly make your dispute and make your dispute as vague as possible. Do not be too specific because then the bureau will specifically address the issue.However, if you simply state in your dispute letter: "The information being reporting for account no. 1234-567 is incorrect. Could you please correct the if for me and send me an updated credit report.
