A dispute letter is how you can challenge the accuracy or validity of a bad credit item on your report. In your letter you must include the reason for the dispute and what item is being disputed. Reasons often include; account is out of date, information is wrong, account paid in full, not my account and many more. The bureaus will conduct an investigation into the mark when they deem your letter valid. During this investigation the collection agency or lender is contacted and the account is verified and the dates and amounts. If the account can not be verified then it will be removed from your credit report. An investigation often results in a negative mark being removed. This is because many businesses will not spend the time and money to verify a disputed item. There are rumors that credit bureaus do not check public records to verify debt. This means that bad credit marks such as a judgment or foreclosure are often removed through a dispute. A credit repair service can also be hired to dispute bad credit marks on your behalf. This can be a tremendous benefit if you are disputing multiple marks. Often dispute letters will result in a return letter from the bureaus requesting more information about the dispute. In addition each bureau needs to be disputed separately. Thus the organization during your credit repair can become a challenge on its own. Also credit services can use advanced dispute techniques such as; creditor direct intervention, debt validation and escalated dispute information requests to remove a bad credit item. Many services will employ attorneys this will enable you to go to court if it is necessary. In addition you may be a victim of illegal debt collection practices and may be able to file a lawsuit against a collection agency. Credit repair is your responsibility. Unfortunately it is very common for inaccurate information to be reported on your credit report. It is estimated that 1 in every 4 Americans have inaccurate items on their report. In sum, you should dispute any inaccurate or unverifiable bad credit item on your credit. Use a dispute letter to challenge this item and do not just wait 7 years for the item to be removed.
