Credit Issues/Dispute Letters? I would like to better my poor credit rating, someone suggested I write dispute letters to the 3 major credit bureaus however I honestly cannot dispute the fact that I do owe these debts but many of the items on my credit report are over seven years old and appear to have been sold to new debt collectors and re-submitted. Would dispute letters benefit me in anyway and if so how would I word such letters to work in my favor? THANKS:):):):)

Credit dispute letter...Do I have to send a letter with a copy of my credit report for each item to dispute? I'm currently disputing a few negativie items on my credit report. My question is this: Do i have to send one letter for "each" negative item dispute along with a copy of my credit report, even if I disputing the items with the same credit bureau? Because if that is the case, I would have to print alot since credit reports contains many pages. Or, can I just simply "list" all the negative items that I'm disputing, in one letter with one copy of my credit report (with highlighted dispute items)?
When sending dispute letters to credit bureau, should I also send a copy of my current credit report? If so, do I have to send them a copy of the entire thing or just the front page and the page that pertains to the dispute?

dispute letter for credit report errors? My husband and I recently obtained our credit reports. Much to our dismay, there are several accounts on his report that are either errors or were charged by his ex-wife without his knowledge. I need to know if anyone has a good dispute letter or a link to a site that provides a draft that will get some results. We are not sure how much damage she has done since she had access to his social security number and other personal information. Has anyone ever had success with disputing these sort of things? Thanks for the help!

How does a credit dispute work? My husband and I moved into an apartment and we lived there for 18 months. Our first lease, my mother in law had to co-sign. That lease expired after 6 months and we signed another lease for a year by ourselves. About 3 months after that, another leasing company bought the apartment complex. After we moved out, we received a letter from the new lease company demanding $2400 in damages to the apartment. The damages included new carpet, paint, new locks, and cleaning. The carpet was worn and statined when we moved in. We did nothing to the walls that would require repainting. We didn't even hang photos on the wall. I have disputed this on my credit report. There is no way for them to prove that me and my husband did any damage because they did not see the state of the apartment when we moved in. On the same token, we cannot prove that we did not. They have also place this on my mother in laws credit report. She was not on the lease when we moved out. Any hope in resolving this? Thanks
Pay The Collectors Or Letters of Dispute? After much reading, I am looking for the best approach. I have 3 open accounts listed with the 3 agencies. The total amounts are small ($425, $763, $178). Is it best to first send out a registered letter of dispute to each collection agency and see if they respond within 30 days? If not then report it to the credit agencies? Or do I just pay the collection fee's and move on? After trying to pay the full amount owed ($763) and getting $200 in interest thrown in my face, I am hesitant to try and settle with the others. Questions: a.) How to best handle the existing negative tradelines? b.) What steps do you advise to start the credit repair process? c.) Is it possible to remove payroll deducted child support from the credit report itself? I’m not sure if this is standard but child support shows up as credit? d.) Any way to dispute the late charges from the mortgage and 2nd mortgage? Can I request that they prove that I was late and since it was 3+ years ago they may have trouble? The mortgage is 3 years old

Credit Repair........Can you get paid adverse accounts removed early?

Credit report question? I heard if you send the credit bureaus a letter disputing something on your credit report, if they do not respond, or resolve within 30 days, they automatically have to remove it from your report. Also I have some things on my report that are a few years old, that I never paid, but are still open, and in collections, I have no intention on paying now, the damage is done, how do I get rid of it. I thought after so long creditors have to stop persuing the bill.

Has anyone had experience with disputing info on their credit report causing their score to decrease.? I recently (about 10 days ago) sent each bureau a letter disputing some accounts and inquiries on my report. I use Score Watch to monitor my score and yesterday I got an alert stating that info on my report had changed and my score dropped 20 points. The change in my report was the disputed items noted that the consumer was disputing validity. Can I argue this decrease with the credit bureau? And if so, how? I didn't think I could be penalized for submitting dispute letters.
Need Help with Acct reported in my credit was disputed? I have found on my credit report an acct that was disputed. This acct was reported to the BBB and also was disputed to the collection company with letters I sent by certified mail. Does someone knows if it is agains the law to report an acct on the cridit bureaus that was disputed? I made a letter to the three credit bureaus companies disputing this acct. What else I can do? Also, this collection company was calling me at work, which I understand is against the law. Also, because I don't agree with the amount I supposdely owe, in one of my letters I wrote that they have to take this case to a court so I can bring all my proofs and a judge can decide. Is this ok?

Can I possibly dispute a "late pay" and have it removed from my credit report? My husband and I have been working on our credit the last three years and have had no late pays. (that we knew of) We just went to apply for a loan on our first house, and there were 2 late pays on our credit. One for Aug and One for Sept from the Same company, Conn's Appliances. Apparently, there was some confusion when my husband paid the accounts. He has an acct with Conns and I have an acct with Conns. Each acct has a late pay- one on his acct for Aug and one on mine for Sept. He apparently paid one account twice showing a late pay for each. So, now we have this to deal with before getting our house. Can I dispute this through the credit bureau or should I try calling the company directly. My loan officer said that if he had a letter from the company stating they would take it off, that would be all I needed. Any advice would help. So, I contacted the company and apparently my husband wasn't aware of the full amount of the payment so he paid a total of 2 months on his account instead of paying his acct and mine. So, they show no mistake on their part and say they do not do courtesy removals. What do I do now?
How do I dispute accurate negative info on my credit reports? I have paid collections accounts on my credit reports I know there is a way to remove them or dispute them without having to wait 7 years. Does anybody know how? or where could i get sample letters?
How can I dispute a credit card charge even if my credit card company rejects my dispute? To make a long story short, I had booked my hotel reservation through American Express travel and paid in advance to Amex. Unfortunately, we couldn't sleep at all because the noise disturbances on our floor. We were so angry that we checked out at 3 a.m. When we left the police came to deal with the guests who were making the noise. The hotel manager apologized and told us that there will be no charge. So, 3 months later I am still trying to make Amex understand that it's Amex travel who should credit us and not the hotel because when we checked in the room was already paid for. As far as the hotel is concerned I never paid for the room because we check in and out with a zero balance. I keep getting a letter from them that they can't verify with the hotel and the hotel keeps telling me that they never charged me for the room. I have no idea what to do next because everytime I call Amex I have to explain the entire situation again to different agents. Please help!

can a debt collector report a debt you owe to a credit agency if you have your lawyer dispute the charge? In the state of florida or wherever? I had a collector call me and try to get me to pay a debt that i know is completely invalid. So i had my attorney send the collector a letter of representation (certified mail), and basically state my stance as disputing the validity. the collector never responded, and almost a year later, they put it on my credit report and its screwing me over. i since then lost my lawyer, but i'd like to know if they could do that. please help!
Can an item be removed from my credit report if the verification date shows the item has not been updated? The agency said they never received the letter. Then I received an "updated" credit report with investigation results. The dispute letter that showed the information had not been verified for 4 years. This implies the was no investigation.
Too late to dispute, ask for validation of a debt? If one has received a collecton letter from a debt collector, and it is just a few days past the 30 day mark, from the date of the letter. Can one still send a letter of verification of the debt to said agency, and of course send a letter of dispute to the credit bureaus, to ensure the best strategy for dealing with this? The accounts are credit card, and they do list the name, and account number, however, there are no terms and the like listed on the letter, just a name of creditor, amount, and a account number. Still too late to send a letter?
