Okay this concerns the credit bureaus and the disputes I have in with them. I mailed letters out to all bureaus on December 13. One to each one for my report and one to each one for 'mr shirleys' reports. lol. In the past 30 day plus time frame, I have received ONE report on me from transunion. And husband got one report on him from equifax. He hasn't gotten his transunion one and I haven't gotten my equifax one. But equifax sent me a letter a couple of weeks ago asking for verification of SSN, so that's why they're past the 30 days. Nothing from Experian. Remember at first, my letters were returned to me, said no such address and it was the address listed all over the internet. I came across another address, sent the letters out again, didn't get them back this time but haven't heard anything so far.
so now that I'm talking about this out loud, looks like the only one that has went past the 30 days is transunion but only for husbands report. haven't heard one word from Experian, but it hasn't been quite 30 days with me having to resend the letters.

On the two reports that I've gotten back so far, I mailed transunion my dispute again using the form that they sent me. seems they didn't acknowledge my dispute at all, but sent me a proper form to do it again and mail it back in. So I did. guess thats what will happen with hubbys too. Then with equifax, I went on line and disputed EVERYTHING.


As per the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, your credit file should present the accurate credit history to your future creditors. The future lenders should understand by seeing your credit report that you are willing to pay the debt but the credit report is lacking the information from your point.

In order to overcome this situation, keep proof of what you have done by now in order to resolve this matter with the CRAs. Present it to your future lenders. When you approach to your new creditors, explain the circumstances surrounding this item and other positive reasons while you are filling the credit application.

The private enforcement provisions of the FCRA allow you to sue anybody for willful noncompliance with the Act. Actual cost of damages and attorney fees can be recovered from the other party if you win the case. If you think that the laws have been violated, you need to look for some legal counsel.

The credit bureaus don't share information with each other unless a fraud alert is activated by the consumer. If one of your reports is showing the information that is not updated with the other two, you need to notify them regarding the change. Perhaps, sending copies to prove the fact will be quite helpful in this case.

Also, it is not necessary for the agencies to report your accounts with all the bureaus. If the present status of your account is not reflected on all the reports from the bureaus, send your verification letters so that your credit file reflects the latest financial standing.
