Once you receive your credit reports, review each to see if any errors exist. If errors are found – follow the dispute process identified on each credit report (this can be done online, or by mail.) Federal law (FCRA) requires most disputes be completed within 30 days. At the time this was written, we’re seeing most disputes completed within about 3 weeks.
Here’s the best part – Once you obtain copies of your credit report – each repository is required to provide you a toll-free number answered by a live person to help you with any questions or concerns you have about your credit report, or the dispute process. These live customer support agents can also provide a fax number so you can forward any supportive documentation.
Most importantly - All of the above is provided absolutely free of charge.
This process gets your dispute addressed by each repository faster than possible through any credit repair company. See the FTC warnings about credit repair at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/repair.htm
The Number One Credit Repair Warning Sign - Charging Up-Front Fees Many credit repair firms violate federal law by requiring up-front fees often disguised as "account set-up" or analysis fees. Some require you to purchase a training manual for hundreds of dollars just to access "free" credit repair. Credit Repair Organizations Act - Public Law 90-321, 82 Stat. 164 “404. Prohibited practices. b) Payment in Advance.--No credit repair organization may charge or receive any money or other valuable consideration for the performance of any service which the credit repair organization has agreed to perform for any consumer before such service is fully performed.”
