Ways to Initiate the Credit Dispute with Siltowers Credit:
On our requests, the credit bureaus will investigate the information that we have challenged. In the process, we also need to share the correct data about the error we challenged with the data furnisher.
These are the following steps that the Credit Dispute Team at Siltowers Credit will initiate on your behalf after we find out the errors!.
Send a Letter to the Bureau:
The three major Credit Bureaus to disputes incorrect information are Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. Our team will send a letter to these bureaus, either online or offline. The letter needs to have these points covered:
- The reason behind the challenge in detail,
- Clearly identifying all the challenging items,
- Requesting the Bureaus to either correct or remove the negative information.
Also, if we are challenging a credit inquiry, we need to inform the lender who has issued the initial investigation.
Contacting the Data Furnisher:
The entity that has provided information to Credit Bureau is known as the data furnishers. They can either be the lender, creditor, and the financial institution that provides the loans or the collection agencies. To take all the possible advantages, you must contact both the data furnishers and the bureaus.
In case of incorrect information is from your end, you must primarily inform the credit bureaus. And if the error is from the furnisher’s side, then you must contact them for further help.
Wait for the Response from Credit Bureau:
Also, the credit bureau will not process the claims if they find them to be frivolous. Frivolous lawsuits may be:
- Inaccurate or Incomplete Dispute Information,
- Attempting to claim without any proof,
- Contesting the same items without new evidence.
In these cases, you need to share updated evidence with the Credit Bureau again.
Review and Check Updates:
The next step is to review the results. If you disagree with the results, you can contact the data furnishers directly.
After the reviews, you need to check your credit scores. In case your dispute is processed, the report will change. Personal Information Updates have no impact on the scores.
