fixing credit report errors
How do you fix errors on your credit report?
I rented an apartment from 2000 to 2006. I gave a verbal 30 day notice when I moved out, and my roommate contintinued to live there after I left. The roommate left oweing some money, but there was never any kind of evictions , not even a 7 day notice to pay rent. Now 8 months later there is an eviction showing on my credit report, for a different apt # at that address and from year 04. I”m sure I can straighten it out with the apt. manager, it has to be her mistake…But how do I get it off my credit report so that I can rent a house?
Each of the three credit bureau reports come with dispute forms. You are entitled to each report (Transunion, Experian and Equifax) each year. You simply challenge the errors and if they cannot verify the information, the dings MUST be removed by law.
