Hi,

I'm new to all this and am very thankful to this site for the great info. I'm getting ready to mail 3 letters to the 3 credit bureau's disputing some items that are on my credit reports. I was wondering if someone can review this and make sure it's worded properly. Thanks in advance!

Dear Sir or Madam,

After applying for a loan and being subsequently denied, I obtained a copy of my credit report. I noticed several inaccuracies as listed below. Please provide documentation that the following accounts belong on my credit report and that my rights have not been violated. I am asserting my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and will need these accounts verified. Otherwise please delete this damaging data immediately.

• I have no knowledge of the following public record:

Civil Judgment, XXXXXX County Circuit Court, date filed 09/27/2001 Reference #XXXXXXXX amount owed $660.00

• I have no knowledge or record of the following accounts:

accnt XXXXXXXXX 5/1/2002 $206.00

accnt XXXXXXXX 1/1/2006 $331.00 Allianceone

accnt XXXXXXXXX 8/1/2002 $1,730.00 Fidelity Coll svc OR

• The following two items were reported stolen at the same time, I would like my credit report to indicate this fact, with a balance owing as $0

accnt XXXXXXX 3/1/2004 $293.00 Citibank credit card

accnt XXXXXXXX 9/1/2004 $298.00 First Premier

• The following two items are one in the same, yet reported twice on my credit report with different accnt numbers:

517800732496XXXX 9/1/2004 $298.00 First Premier

517800732421XXXX 9/1/2004 First Premier reported stolen

• In addition, please remove the following item as it is 11 1/2 years old:

accnt XXXXXX 10/1/1996 Wells Fargo education loan paid

Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter,

(my name)

Thanks ahead to anyone with advice for me. Each letter is a bit different because some items are reported and others aren't. Also, the employer that they have listed for me, I haven't worked for since 2001. I'm wondering if it's common for them not to update this information?

First, the letter sounds very unfriendly...try a softer approach.

After applying for a loan and being denied, I obtained a copy of my credit report. I noticed several inaccuracies as listed below. (Sometimes the less said the better) You don't want it to sound like your trying to repair your credit...so just list the inaccuracies

I have no knowledge of the following accounts

Civil Judgment, XXXXXX County Circuit Court, date filed 09/27/2001 Reference #XXXXXXXX amount owed $660.00

Do this one first and save the rest till this one comes back

(I actually think your trying to put too much NOT MINE in one letter)

accnt XXXXXXXXX 5/1/2002 $206.00

accnt XXXXXXXX 1/1/2006 $331.00 Allianceone

accnt XXXXXXXXX 8/1/2002 $1,730.00 Fidelity Coll svc OR

The following two items are the same account, reported twice on my credit report with different accnt numbers:

517800732496XXXX 9/1/2004 $298.00 First Premier

517800732421XXXX 9/1/2004 First Premier reported stolen

In addition, please remove the following item as it is 11 1/2 years old:

accnt XXXXXX 10/1/1996 Wells Fargo education loan paid (when were the student loans paid off? they will remain on your report for 10 years after paid off) so if they have been paid off in the last 10 years...don't bother to dispute them.

BTW Good luck, keep it simple...
