Reading credit reports can be confusing. Before you assume there is an error, make sure you are interpreting the information correctly. The good news is that you can effectively dispute errors. Keep records of all your telephone conversations and correspondence. Get the name, title, and telephone/extension number of the person with whom you are speaking. All three of the large credit bureaus offer tools to register online credit report disputes. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also offers a publication called “How to Dispute Credit Report Errors” for free on its Web site.
