DIY Approach - Step 1: Obtain Your Credit Report
Begin by requesting a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. You are entitled to one free report from each bureau every 12 months.
Step 2: Review Your Credit Report
Carefully review each section of your credit report for inaccuracies or discrepancies. Pay close attention to personal information, account details, and payment history. If you spot any errors, make note of them for future reference.
Step 3: Gather Supporting Documentation
Expect potential delays caused by stall tactics from Credit Reporting agencies and their data furnishers. Once you’ve made the decision to proceed, collect any documentation that substantiates your dispute, including bank statements, payment records, or correspondence with creditors. Providing evidence strengthens your position during the investigation process.
Step 4: File a Dispute with the Credit Agencies & Creditor
When contesting inaccuracies in your credit report, it’s crucial to avoid online or phone disputes. Instead, opt for certified mail for each investigation you file. Include supporting documentation to bolster your case and ensure thorough investigation by the credit reporting agencies and your assigned creditors.
Step 5: Follow Up Regularly
Monitor the progress of your dispute and follow up with the credit bureaus as needed. They are required to investigate your claim within a reasonable timeframe and provide a response. Be persistent in advocating for the accuracy of your credit report.
Conclusion:
As you work to correct inaccuracies in your credit history, prepare for potential challenges. If the investigation doesn’t yield desired results or if creditors, collectors, and credit reporting agencies don’t address your concerns, further action may be necessary. 75% of consumers’ credit report investigations go unanswered the first two investigations. Keep you head up and keep moving forward.
