- Reporting credit information incorrectly: Afni Collections agency reports incorrect information to the credit bureaus. One consumer says that Afni reported inaccurate information to the credit bureau, and as a result of that the consumer's credit report showed an account with Nextel he had never had. The consumer claimed that when he had an open account with Nextel, it has showed a zero balance on his credit report. So, he actually didn't have any outstanding balances on the account. The consumer disputed the information 3 times and each time the response from the CA was that the account status had been verified and reported correctly. Find out more...
If you are in a similar situation, talk to the credit bureaus and have them remove the incorrect information from your credit report if it can't be verified. When you communicate with the credit bureau, provide them with the copies of the documents that prove the information was reported incorrectly. Your letter to the bureau should indicate clearly which items you are disputing and have facts to support your claim. Once you contact the bureaus to dispute inaccurate information, the credit bureau should investigate and remove any errors from your report within 30 days.
