Most people look at a credit report only when something goes wrong, such as a denied application or a surprise phone call. By then the mistake may have been sitting in the file for months. A short, regular habit of checking the report catches problems early, and early problems are easier to fix.
This book follows the order in which a dispute usually unfolds. Chapter 1 explains how to get the reports and what to look for. Chapter 2 sorts items into those worth disputing and those that are not. Chapter 3 covers how long different items may stay on a report, since an item past its limit is a strong reason to dispute. Chapter 4 explains the request that people call a 609 letter, including what it can and cannot do.
Chapter 5 covers a dispute sent to the credit reporting company, which people call a 611 dispute. Chapter 6 covers a dispute sent to the company that supplied the information. Chapter 7 explains what to do when the answer comes back as verified or does not come back at all. Chapter 8 looks at credit repair companies and at what a reader can do alone. Chapter 9 covers identity theft and medical bills. Chapter 10 turns everything into a six-week plan.
Two notes on how to read this book. First, the numbers are tied to the sources that report them, and rules can change, so check the current text before a high-stakes step. Second, the names 609 and 611 refer to sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In the United States Code they appear as sections 1681g and 1681i, and this book gives both names the first time each one comes up.
