Credit Repair
Disputes, letters and your FCRA rights
Credit repair is a narrow, specific process: identifying information on your credit report that is inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable, and asking the bureaus and furnishers to correct it. Nothing here can remove accurate, timely information, and no legitimate service can promise a specific score change.
These guides cover the mechanics — how to read a report, how to write a dispute the bureaus must investigate, how long they have to respond, and what to do when a dispute comes back 'verified'.
