Credit Reporting Dispute Steps

Inaccurate credit reporting can negatively impact your credit score. To address this, dispute the errors with credit bureaus and file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Document all communications and evidence related to the issue. Creditors can face fines under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) for reporting inaccuracies. If pension checks are not received, report to the pension plan administrator and the U.S. Department of Labor.
