Frequently life throws us all a curve ball from time to time. Such as a sickness in the family, getting laid off from a job, or simply not being able to provide properly.
Typically this results in you falling behind on bills, and that will cause creditors to create bad credit marks on your credit report. There is a lot of information that says these bad credit marks must remain on your credit for seven years or more.
This is not true. The truth is bad credit items can be removed and are removed every day.
To remove bad credit from your report you should dispute each item with the credit bureaus. This is done be sending a dispute letter in which you provide a reason why the item is wrong such as; not my account, account paid in full, item is out of date, information is wrong, etc.
When received the bureaus will conduct an investigation. They will contact the lender and ask them to verify the account, the dates on the account, and the balance of the debt.
If it's not verified then it must be deleted from your credit report. This is according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
This is the act that is cited when the claim that an item must remain on your credit report for seven years. However this act specifically and plainly says an item can remain on your credit report for a maximum of seven years, nowhere is anything said about the minimum amount of time a item must remain.
This incorrect information is causing many to feel hopeless and frustrated paying the high cost of bad credit. However you dont just have to live with it, you can delete each and every bad credit item on your report.
The truth is every item can be erased.
You can create a dispute letter yourself or you can hire a service to dispute bad credit on your behalf. Disputing negative credit is 100% legal and you will never face any fines, jail time, or arrest.
The bureaus have financed a large pr campaign to get this false belief to consumers. This is because the bureaus spend potential profits every time they investigate a dispute.
Additionally if you dispute these items yourself be prepared for the bureaus stall tactics. Often they will respond to a dispute letter by requesting more information.
This is not because they need the information but instead used as a stall tactic. This is where they hope you will give up on repairing their credit report and just live with it.
Don't just live with the high cost of bad credit. You can dispute and erase any mark from your credit. This will help to provide you and your family with the quality of life that you deserve. - 15790
