Credit Report FAQ
How do I dispute possible inaccuracies on my credit report?
To request an investigation into information you don’t agree with on your credit report, you should write directly to the credit reporting bureau that supplied the information. A credit bureau has 30 days to investigate disputes regarding possible inaccuracies on credit reports. The credit bureau must then give you the results in writing.
