Steps to Take if You Find Errors on Your Credit Report

Errors on your credit report can range from simple mistakes, such as misspelled names or outdated addresses, to more serious issues, such as fraudulent accounts opened in your name and wrongful defaults on accounts. Regardless of the nature of the errors, you should always address them promptly to protect your financial reputation.

• Review your credit report - Start by obtaining a copy of your credit report from all three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Carefully review the information on each report to identify any errors or discrepancies.
• Document the errors - Make a list of all the errors you have identified and gather any supporting documentation that can help prove the inaccuracies. This may include credit card statements, payment receipts, or any other relevant records.
• Dispute the errors - Contact the credit bureau(s) to dispute the errors (Equifax, Experian, Transunion). Provide a detailed explanation of each error, along with the supporting documents you have gathered. Include copies, not originals, of your documents and clearly identify each error and the requested correction.
• Contact the creditors - In addition to disputing the errors with the credit bureaus, contact the creditors directly. Provide them with the same information you provided to the credit bureaus and request that they correct the errors on their end.
• Follow up regularly - Keep track of your dispute process and follow up with the credit bureaus and creditors regularly. Stay organized by keeping copies of all correspondence and documenting the dates and times of your conversations.
• Seek legal assistance - If you encounter difficulties or feel overwhelmed by the dispute process, it may be wise to seek legal assistance. A knowledgeable FCRA attorney can increase your chances of success.
