on 7/4/2008 Dear Army you must wait at least 30-45 day for the credit agenices to respond to your request. Do not contact them until your 30 days are up, if you do you automaticlly give the credit agencies more time to investigate your dispute. Make sure you send all letters by cert. mail.

on 6/7/2008 Hi redsonya, in reply to your comment on disputing items on your credit report you can dispute as many items as you want, but rule of thumb is only 3 items at a time to each of the 3 major credit reporting agencies. If you try to dispute more than 3 at a time they will think that all you are trying to do is credit repair.

on 6/4/2008 Do you have a form letter to send to dispute the items also? Do I need a form letter for each item I want to dispute, or can I put them all on one? thanks :)

on 4/16/2008 Yes JustEntertainment, by law if they cannot validate the debt and it's on your credit report they must remove it by law! I would follow up with the credit reporting agencies to make sure!
