The goal of this article is to give you a good understanding of credit bureau disputes. Make sure that you copy this article and hide it in a safe place. I guarantee you once the credit bureaus find it they will have it removed. They do not want you to know how things REALLY work. Keep reading and pay close attention as I pull back the curtains and reveal the truth right before your eyes.
If you were to be foolish enough to believe what the media has to say you would think that the credit bureaus are set up to help the consumer. If you believe that then I guess you also believe in the lockness monster, or maybe bigfoot.
*Yes it would be wonderful if the credit bureaus really put the interest of the consumers first. A wise person once told me that you never bite the hand that feeds you. That saying also applies to businesses such as the credit bureaus. Trust when I say – the credit bureaus will by no means bite the hand that feeds them.
The credit bureaus don’t make a damn dime from helping you. Not one red cent! They are not in the business of helping consumers they are in the business of collecting and selling your information to businesses. Always keep in mind that when you are dealing with credit bureau disputes it’s never personal just business. The main goal of every business on the face of the planet is one thing… Make a profit.
Let’s build on what we have learned so far. We now know that the credit bureau’s are big business, and the goal of all business is to make a profit. With that understanding take a moment to consider that if the credit bureaus where to help you they would make nothing. However selling your information to other businesses they make boat loads of cash. The bottom line is it’s all about the money and you are the one that ends up loosing out if you don’t understand how things work.
Credit repair is a numbers game and it is fought on two fronts simultaneously. The first front is establishing new lines of credit which is outside the realm of this article. The second front is fought via credit bureau disputes. This is a series of letters that you send to the three major credit bureaus disputing any false claims that you have found on your credit report. The good news is the law is on your side and you can force the credit bureaus to help you if they fail to do their jobs.
Once you have mailed out your letters of disputes to the three credit bureaus by law they have 30 days to investigate and respond to your claims. If by chance they should fail to do so by law they also have to remove any dings that you have disputed.
A recent study showed that 93% of individuals that attempt to repair their own credit will use a template that they found online for their credit dispute letters. This can be a rather costly mistake, because the credit bureau’s are aware of the online templates and it sends up a flag. It instantly notifies the credit bureaus that you don’t know what you are doing. That’s when they pull out their arsenal of tricks that they will use to trick you into extending the 30 day process. For example they will give you a friendly little call asking questions about your dispute letter.
On the outside this may seem like a harmless call. In reality this call is done to reset the clock on the 30 day’s that they have to process your claims. The best way to avoid getting caught up in the bureaus games is to not communicate with them at all once you have filed your credit dispute letters. Let the 30 days elapse before you make your next move.
