Here’s what you need to know: Credit bureaus and creditors do not have free rein to insert anything they want into your credit report, although it can happen. Credit bureaus must remove unverifiable items within 30 to 45 days, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 611, Part B, Subsection (iii). So, the law is on your side, and you have the right to dispute each item on your credit report. By law, the credit bureau must investigate, but it doesn’t always happen. In my experience, after multiple disputes, they sometimes send a letter apologizing for the item already being investigated.

I keep disputing, and eventually, they delete it. If they don’t, I will contact the courthouse or the collection agency. For example, in 2015, I wrote a letter to the courthouse for my girlfriend, and after they filled out the paperwork, I sent it to the credit bureau. The item was deleted 7 days later.

Fun tip: The best time to dispute is around Christmas because they have limited staff.

Note: 64% of bureau complaints come from people who found inaccurate items on their report from total strangers.

Duration of items and what to look for:
– Personal credit history: 10+ years
– Closed inactive accounts: 10 years from the last payment date
– Derogatory items: 7 years; public records seven years from the payment date
– Chapter 7 & 13: 10 years from the filing date

Now, let’s get started. Pull your 3-1 credit report and highlight negative items. Visit www.creditchecktotal.com (ensure it’s still $1), and remember to cancel within 20 or 30 days to avoid additional charges.

 

Check for the following items:
– Credit inquiries
– Late payments, past due, and unpaid payments
– Court judgments
– Collections
– Loan defaults
– Repossession
– Foreclosure
– Bankruptcy

Before we draft the letter, we will be handwriting or using an italic font from our computers with a color ink or a colored pen. We are doing this because Experian, Equifax, and Transunion use a machine called E-OSCAR to read each letter. Since we are handwriting, using color and italic, the machine cannot read our letters and a real person will have to.

Note: The envelope must be handwritten. We don’t want to look like we are a credit repair company.

To Whom It May Concern,

I have reviewed my credit report and discovered numerous errors. I kindly request your immediate investigation of the following discrepancies:

1. The bankruptcy listed as discharged on 10/20/10 is not mine and should be promptly removed.
2. The BBBC credit card with the account number XXXXXX45678 does not belong to me and should be deleted.
3. The Anders Hospital account for $296 with the account number xxxx67896 is not mine and should be removed.
4. My Macy’s credit card account, which I requested closed, has the number #36789. Please delete it.

I would like you to correct these inaccuracies by removing these items from my credit report without delay. Additionally, I kindly request an updated copy of my credit report to be sent to me.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Jodi Uchuys

P.S. Please include two current bills in my name (with matching address) and a copy of my driver’s license in the envelope. I have also included my Social Security number and date of birth on this letter. I have sent this letter via certified mail and will track it to ensure a response within 30-45 days. Kindly send this letter to each credit bureau since they may report different items.

Now, a little bit about me and how I know so much about credit. When I was 26, my credit was so bad that even getting a gas card was denied. I couldn’t move into the apartments I wanted, and it was a disaster. During my 7-month bed rest while pregnant, I immersed myself in reading every single book and court case about credit repair. After giving birth, my credit score was around 760, and I started fixing everyone’s credit. Within a year, I was managing 4 credit repair offices in 4 different states. Funny how things happen!
