There are a few steps you must take to get your report updated.

1. You must request a copy of your report directly from the credit agency.
-You can do this by getting your Free Credit Report from the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov
- If you have applied for credit in the last 30 days you are entitled to a free copy of the report.
- You can pay for a copy of your report directly on the credit bureau sites.

2. You must complete a dispute. You can try to dispute the information online with EACH of the 3 agencies. If you need to send them documentation then you will need to write a letter explaining the information to be corrected/removed along with a copy of your documents.

3. The credit agency will process your request and send you a revised copy of your report reflecting the changes with in 45 days of the dispute. (The creditor has 30 days to verify the information is correct as reported or the info is removed. Then a couple of extra days for mailing stuff)

Here is the contact info for the 3 agencies:

Equifax Information Services, LLC

P.O. Box 2002

Credit is based on habits and information gathered about you over the years. Credit card companies, lenders, and other companies report information to the agencies regarding you. You have taken care of the situation itself. Now you just have to do the followup to stop the negative impact.

Credit bureaus are under greater profit pressure now that they must provide free credit reports on a greater scale. As a result, any activity that does not produce revenue will receive a tepid response.

Many clients have reported better responses when they actually purchased products from the credit bureaus.

If you send a copy of the paperwork to them as a mail in dispute, then they are more likely to correct the notation. Here are online links to their sites. They will have the addresses listed in the contact information under "Disputes."

You can do this on your own for free.

Generally once a judgment is placed against your credit (any type of judgment) it will stay on there for a minimum of 7 years, even if paid. The only thing that you can really ask them to do, which they have to do, is correct the entry on your report reflecting that it is now paid. Sometimes this may take you three or 4 tries. Pain in the but, but worth it. There are also firms out there that will work with you to help you get the corrections done to your report ... costs a little bit of money, but as they are usually law firms, it is also usually worth it.

No kidding. I'm sorry you are having to go through this.

they have no real desire to change or correct credit information, they make their money Selling your credit information to others! If you were paying them to make corrections they would be more willing to get the information correct!


Char
you ain't lying

and don't forget Equifax - they're the worst!

good luck

I found a solution that worked for me. It might work for you too.

I had some pretty serious credit problems…some were not my fault and, I guess, a few were. I listened to the so-called “experts” who said they could fix my credit report and I spent money I didn’t have. I didn’t have any luck trying to get my credit report fixed.

I remember paying for the services that these Credit Repair Companies had to offer. The companies told me that they could have negative items removed from my credit reports without any problem, Yeah, right. This did not happen at all. Most of the companies wanted to charge me a set up fee anywhere from $39 to $299 for their services. Not only did they charge this set up fee, most of them also wanted to charge me from $29 to $49 monthly while they “attempted” to repair my credit report. These companies offered no guarantee that their services would actually work and, believe me, they didn’t.

I was about ready to give up when I found a lady who had been through the same thing and who had found a solution. She figured out how get all the negative items removed from her credit report within 3 months without paying anyone a penny. She developed a fast, easy, step-by-step process that she guarantees will work for everyone. She sells the complete plan with all the help and instructions for $47.00.

I know what you are thinking…”another $47 down the drain,” and that’s kind of what I was thinking too. But, I figured that since she offers a 100% money back guarantee I had nothing to lose.

Well, I tried it and it was amazing. I got all of the negative items removed from my credit report and my credit score went from 553 to 715 in only 3 months. All I can say is that it worked great for me. I suggest you check it out. You can always get your money back if it doesn’t work for you. If it works even half as well for you as it did for me you will never even think about asking for a refund.
