How to Contact Credit Reporting Bureaus Online

If you need to contact a credit reporting agency, such as Experian, TransUnion, or Equifax, you can do it online quickly and easily. Each of the contact links are at the bottom of this article. Remember, that under the Federal Credit Reporting Act a credit bureau can not update your records unless the information is inaccurate or an investigation is done and the creditor fails to respond. Creditors, not credit reporting bureaus, are responsible for correcting the information.
