Writing Credit Report Dispute Letters
2010

whats the best way to write a credit deispute letter?
I have 12 items to dispute:
Should I Write each dispute in a seperate letter and mail it?
or just disput everything at once in one single letter/ however won’t this look like frivoulous disput attemps?
Anyone who has disputed bad credit/ even if was a legit report and had it removed, how did you do it?
By the way I realize I spelled dispute wrong in my subject title.
With 7 years in the credit business, I recommend disputing them all at the same time, as you will likely need to go through several rounds of letters to get what you want done. If something is blatently wrong with your credit report, call the bureau after they write back and refuse to remove it. Go up the food chain until a manager agrees to remove or amend the incorrect info on the spot. Don’t buy into their speach about re-disputing it – but make sure you have provided the information necessary by mail already to correct the error. It will not help you to insist on something being removed if you have not provided verificaiton on why.
When you mail in the dispute letter, mail in as much information as possible with it. If your verification is a bankruptcy, send in all the pages to your petition and tab the important pages for them to review.
Also mail in a copy of an electric bill and a copy of your ID to avoid any delays. See the FTC web’s site for your specific rights:

If your problem is directly with the creditors, write to them ONE time. If they do not remove incorrect information, write to your state’s attorney general’s office, the FTC, as well as the ACA at www.acainternational.org. This will get you the results you seek if you are in the right.
If this is a collection agency problem, write to the same people. Collection agencies are generally slime, so know your rights before you call them. See your rights here:

If you have legit items that are bad, dispute them also. If they can not be verified, they must be deleted. It is not your responsibility to prove they are inaccurate, it is the credit bureaus who must demonstrate they are.
Good luck.
