MariaInAL Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I pulled my credit reports and found that there are several variatons of my name (some not even my name), and several old addresses (some addresses in towns I've never heard of, much less lived in). There is even 1 variation of my social security number.I've read to dispute these inaccuracies first, before disputing anything else. Just want to do this right from the beginning! Any advice would be appreciated!Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 That's what I did first beginning my credit repair journey. It helps you get used to disputing items. I would start with the easy items first - name changes, address info., current employer, etc., and then move onto the accounts.Good luck with everything!

jetscarbie Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I also did it just like Esquire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I disputed everything all at once (names, phones, addresses, inquiries, accounts). Aside from Experian being less than helpful with the name change everything else was fine. I would recommend individual disputes though, rather than one big one. I did all the personal info online.

MariaInAL Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thank you all for your advice! I had composed a few dispute letters, then would decide to go back and make changes based on what I read here. Before finding this site, especially this forum, I thought my credit problems were going to last years! I want to buy a house in the next couple of years and I thought there would be no way! I've been so discouraged until now! Thank you all!! I'm so much more excited about my future now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALVA Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I just disputed wrong addresses online and they were deleted in 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariaInAL Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks, I think I will try to dispute the wrong personal info online instead of mailing since it seems some are having good results.Thanks again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
