HOOK
Found something wrong on your credit report? [Close-up of a credit report with a highlighted error] One small mistake could be dragging down your score more than you think—and you can dispute it for free.
KEY POINT 1
First, pull your reports from all three bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. [Screen shows the three bureau logos and AnnualCreditReport.com] The error may show up on just one report, so check each one line by line.
KEY POINT 2
Next, gather proof. If a payment is marked late, grab bank statements or account history. [Hands organizing statements and account screenshots] If an account isn’t yours, save any documents that show why it’s incorrect. The stronger your evidence, the better.
KEY POINT 3
Then file your dispute with the bureau in writing or online, and keep it specific. [Typing a dispute form on a laptop] Say exactly what’s wrong, why it’s wrong, and include copies—not originals—of your proof.
KEY POINT 4
After you submit it, the bureau usually has about 30 days to investigate. [Calendar pages flipping, mailbox opening] Save every confirmation number and follow up if they ask for more information. If the bureau won’t fix it, you can dispute directly with the lender too.
