Credit reports often contain errors. In fact, credit reporting agencies have reported in the past that over half of the files they maintain have bad information in them. There are rights that have been put in place for you to dispute errors with credit bureaus like Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You need to understand those rights and exercise them if incorrect, erroneous or out of date information is impacting your credit report and credit score.

The process to fix your credit when the errors are obvious is not difficult. It can prove frustrating if the credit reporting companies, or the companies reporting to them, do not cooperate and do the obvious right thing. The systems for reporting information about you are often old and outdated. Those furnishing credit information about you, and the companies storing and reporting data about you, make mistakes.

Companies look for ways to cut corners and lower costs. Truly investigating a legitimate and proper dispute you raise in protecting your rights is a requirement for information furnishers and credit reporting firms. How do you deal with them when they stonewall your efforts to protect yourself? How can you work with a reputable firm that understands all of this and can go to bat for you? Seeking out professionals in what is referred to as the credit repair market has proven to be risky business. If you do not have the time or inclination to address legitimate concerns in your credit report, look no further. Get connected with the industry leader in this field.
