Don’t Let A Credit Reporting Error Impact Your Life
Errors on your credit report come in many forms.
Are there accounts listed as open that are closed?
Are accounts listed as past due that are current?
Is your personal information incorrect?
These are just a few examples.
These errors could lower your credit score and make it more difficult to obtain a mortgage, purchase a car, rent an apartment, get insurance or obtain a job.

FCRA PROCESS
- GATHER INFORMATION. Obtain your credit reports from Experian, Transunion, and Equifax. You can obtain a free copy annually from www.freecreditreport.com. Review your reports for any errors and gather information that support your claim that there is an error – bank statements, credit card receipts, etc.
- DISPUTE THE ERRORS. Write a letter disputing the errors. Contact information for the three credit bureaus is listed below. For a sample letter CLICK HERE. The credit bureaus have 30 days to investigate the error.
- FILE A FCRA LAWSUIT. We recommend contacting an attorney to assist you with this step because FCRA lawsuits can be complicated. Give us a call today at 855-978-6564 so we can assist you!
