How to Dispute Your Credit Report?
Your credit report is one of the most important pieces of your life. It contains valuable information regarding your place of residence, how you pay your bills, whether you have been sued or arrested and whether or not you have filed for bankruptcy. Any misleading information in your credit report can mean the difference between being approved for a loan or being declined for a loan. That is the main reason why you should dispute your credit report.Your credit report is sold to creditors, insurers, employers and other businesses by consumer reporting companies. They determine how much you pay for a loan, whether or not you are eligible for a loan, if you can rent a home, if you are perfect for a certain job and if you can be approved for a credit card.Disputing your credit report can be fairly easy. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) was recently amended in favor of the public. It forces the country’s three main consumer reporting companies to send you a free copy of your credit report once every twelve months. Anyone that provides information to your credit report; people, companies or organizations, have the responsibility of making sure that the information they send to the consumer reporting companies is correct.Once you receive your credit report, if you find discrepancies on the document, there are two main steps that need to be completed when disputing your credit report.Step one is the most complicated step of the two involved. First you must contact the consumer reporting company with a written report of what you feel is wrong with your credit report. Please be as detailed as possible. Any documents, which include receipts, that help your case should be copied and sent to the company for proof. Detail your dispute as thoroughly as possible. The company has 30 days to review your dispute before making their decision.If your dispute is awarded, the company has to send you a new copy of your credit report, which does not count against your annual free report. You can also request that the company send your new credit report to any business or creditor that received the false one within the past six months.Step two is the quicker of the two steps since there is no 30 day waiting period involved. After you have notified the consumer reporting company, it is time to notify the creditor or other business that provided the wrong information that you are disputing your credit report. Tell this company in writing and provide them with copies of any documentation that supports your dispute. If you win your dispute with the creditor, they are not allowed to report that inaccurate information again.
