Credit report dispute letter

Contacting a credit agency is never fun and it’s never something you want to do. However, if your credit report has an error on it, it can actually end up damaging your credit line or credit altogether so what you need to do is send a credit report dispute letter in order to hopefully get that solved.

Sample credit report dispute letter


Dear Agency,

I’d like to report an error on my credit report.

It states that I have an outstanding account for my Plus Bank account under the account number 333029 which is incorrect. I need this corrected immediately to 332102 in order to avoid an obvious error.

You can call my Plus Bank manager, named Ortiz Peli if you need verification at 393-201-1283.

I expect to see the correction updated in approximately two weeks and I would like to be mailed a hard copy of the correction as well at 1253 Sunset Drive, Tulsa, Oklahoma. My name is Dan Rothby, and my SS is ###-##-####.

Thanks,

Dan
