Section 611(b) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows consumers to add a 100 word statement to their credit report. Credit bureaus must then make this statement available to any company that obtains a copy of an affected individual's credit file. A consumer statement is an opportunity for you to dispute an entry on your credit file. While a consumer statement won't affect your credit score, it does provide an opportunity to explain any disputed information on your report. However, whether a potential creditor reads your statement is another matter altogether.
Instructions
- 1
Contact the three major credit reference bureaus to request a copy of your credit file.
2Check through your file to look for any mistakes.
3Establish the facts about any entry you wish to dispute. Simply stating that you don't owe a creditor money is unlikely to have much of an impact. You should keep detailed notes on any contact you have with a creditor or credit bureau with whom you are having a dispute.
4Draft a statement of 100 words or fewer that succinctly expresses the nature of your dispute. If you've already paid a debt to a third-party debt collection agency that hasn't been removed from your file, state the debt you're referring to and information on when and how you settled your account.
5Submit your dispute in writing to the credit bureaus that have included the rogue entry on your credit report. Request that an updated copy of your file is sent to you once your statement has been added to your report.
Went through a divorce and found out that my X trashed my credit. In December when I took back my financial life, I was ruined. I discovered my FICO score was at 533, all account was late, over limit, mostly charge offs. Debt was worth $60k. Immediately I put a plan of action on how to fix my credit, because I needed a car for myself. But with my current credit score then I won’t get approved due to the charge offs and debts coupled with low credit score which appeared in my credit report. Thanks to ROOTKITS CREDIT SPECIALIST who was there for me when I needed them the most. After when I spoke with my dad I explained my situation to him, he introduced me to rootkits credit specialist, immediately I contacted them via: rootkitscreditspecialist@gmail.com also texted on +1 760 474 3440. I got replied few minutes and I explained myself and they promised to get job done. Within 5days my credit score changed, charge offs were deleted from my report, all debt cleared and my credit score was raised to 815 across the 3 credit bureaus. My car loan has been approved, I’m super excited to jump into my 2019 Mazda CX-5 car.
