Tag Archives: Dispute On Credit Report

Everyone should know what their credit score is, because it’s the number used by lenders to determine whether or not you are a good risk for a loan. Your credit score is based on information contained in your credit report, information including all your addresses, any names you’ve had, how much total debt you’re carrying, if you make your payments on time, and if you’ve ever had accounts sent to a collection agency or declared bankruptcy. A bad credit score will prevent you from getting any major loan, for anything from your dream home to that car you’ve always wanted. That’s assuming, of course, that all the information is correct. If not, you may need to dispute an item on your credit report by using a service such as the dispute letters available on CreditElves.com
