A Written Credit Dispute Fix Report Makes It Easier For Everyone Involved
By Jean Simmer
If you are a victim of card fraud you
want to fix it as soon as possible. Let's say for example, that you want to fix this dispute report that you filed. You can, actually, by doing the following. Report the incident to the consumer reporting company (Equifax, TransUnion, Experian). You can have it in writing to record it and also for future reference. Report the information that you feel is inaccurate. Include copies of documents that support your statement that these records are fraudulent. Give copies because it is hard to replace original records. Aside from giving out your complete name and address, the letters you write must strongly identify every item on your report with the claims of your dispute fix report. It should also clearly state the facts and explain why exactly you are disputing information that has been reflected on your bill. Since a dispute to be fixed requires a written report, you should enclose copies of the report indicating the items by circling your dispute. Send your later by certified mail in order for you to record what the reporting company gets in their mail. Most importantly, you have to keep copies of these letters and reports. It is the task of the consumer reporting companies to investigate the items you have presented in question. This must be done within 30 days upon the complaint was filed. That is unless the dispute is considered to be a waste of time because of their irrelevance.
All data that is relevant to the investigation must also be forwarded to the card service provider to double check the inaccuracy that the card holder is stating. After the information has been double checked and compared, the consumer reporting company then decides whether the card holder will be liable for payment regarding the damages or not. After the completion of the investigation, the consumer reporting company's job is to give the card holder the results in writing and also a copy of the report, just in case the dispute is brought up again and the results change. If a particular item has been deleted or was changed, the consumer reporting company can no longer return the information into the card holder's files if these weren't proven to be complete or accurate. Upon your request, the consumer reporting company also sends out notices of the corrections for the report in a six month duration. The card holder can have copies of the report sent to anyone who has been able to get one in the past two years. This is for employment purposes. If the investigation was not resolved and there is still a dispute between the card holder, the consumer reporting company and the card service provider, the card holder can request for a copy of the statement to back up his claims of fraud. The reason why we're suggesting that all complaints and reports be done in writing is that then there is a written record of all disputes as well as the results of the credit. At least, by having these written down, there are documents that fully support your position. Many card service providers require documents that can back up the card holder's claim of a mistake occurring in his bill. Just make sure that your report regarding negative information is accurate. A consumer reporting company can get feedbacks based on the accuracy of the negative information printed in your bill for duration of seven years. Information regarding unpaid bills against the card holder can be reported by the card service provider even after seven years have passed. There is no time limit when it comes to reporting criminal convictions. As instructed by law, repair organizations are required to give the card holders copies of the consumer file before they sign any contract that binds them with the card service provider; there should also be a written contract that states the obligations and rights of the card holder to the card provider and vice versa. If all these procedures are done, then there is a possibility that the dispute can be fixed as soon as the report has been filed.
