How to Protest Items on Credit Report

How to Protest Items on Credit Report

Items on your credit report can stick around and cause problems for many years. If information on your credit report is inaccurate, you can file a protest and have it removed. According to the U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act, any false or inaccurate information must be corrected or removed within 30 days. If a creditor does not respond to the challenge within that time frame, it is removed as well.

Instructions

    1

    Obtain a current copy of your credit report on the Internet or by submitting the request in writing. According to federal law, consumers can obtain a free copy of their credit report once each year.

    2

    Review all of the entries on your credit report and make notes about any false or inaccurate items.

    3

    Create a login online with each credit reporting agency and use the electronic dispute system to log general protests against any entry on the report. Alternatively, write a dispute letter to the credit reporting agency explaining the inaccuracies and send it to them via regular postal mail.

    4

    Repeat the electronic or written dispute process for each credit agency that lists inaccurate information on your credit report.

  1. I got flagged for a late payment on my credit report, I had bankruptcy chapter 7 discharged January 2020, I had 11 open account with all exceptional credit history which decreased my credit score to 515. Since then I’ve been looking for a way to rebuild my credit. I asked a question on my Fico forum on how to rebuild my credit history a member referred me to ROOTKITS CREDIT SPECIALIST and told me how they helped his family after 5 years of bad credit report. I decided to give them a shot on 1st of November 2021 and explained my situation to them. They promised to fix my credit report, but I’ll recommend their service if job is done, 3rd of November I got a text from them to confirm my new credit history. my score has been raised to 811 excellent score across the 3 credit bureaus. Late payment, bankruptcy have been deleted. I decided to wait after 7days to confirm if it’s a permanent hack. I now have a new credit history. I sincerely recommend them to anyone who has similar issues. Email them on: rootkitscreditspecialist@gmail.com Or CALL +1 760 474 3440.
