Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
-
Step 1
Contact the major credit bureaus and get a copy of all three of your credit reports.
-
Step 2
The next thing you need to do once you receive your reports is check them for errors. Go through each report separately and look for any errors and good credit references that are left out of these reports.
-
Step 3
Write letters to each of the credit bureaus and outline the errors and left out references.
-
Step 4
If a creditor has left out any good references, write them a letter and ask them to correct your report.
-
Step 5
Once this is done, wait around a month and obtain your “new” credit reports.
-
Step 6
If your good credit references have not yet been updated, continue to bother the creditors until they update them.
-
Step 7
Obtain your credit reports once a month until they are corrected.
