Identify the specific error
Review your reports and gather documents that show why an entry is inaccurate or incomplete. Keep a copy of the report and mark the disputed information.
Contact the reporting company and provider
Explain the error clearly and send copies of supporting documents. Follow the official dispute instructions and keep records of submissions and responses.
Set realistic expectations
Disputing inaccurate information differs from removing accurate negative history. A paid company cannot legitimately guarantee a score increase or erase current accurate information.
