How to Dispute Information for Transunion

Your credit report is an important factor in multiple facets of life, especially when you apply for a loan through a bank. Your credit score gives businesses an idea of how likely you are to repay the loan and under what terms they will lend the money. If you have a negative mark on your credit report, it can cause you to be denied for a loan or perhaps have a higher interest rate than necessary. If there is a negative mark you believe should not be on your Transunion report, you can dispute it.
