Free Triple Score – Protecting Your Credit Check Report Rating From Identity Theft
Marc Marseille asked:
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. The effects of identity theft can be a very hurtful experience that mostly occurs during the important moments of your life. Many victims of identity theft do not even realize that someone or in some cases several people have been violating them by getting access to their personal credit bureau report. Protecting your credit bureau report can easily be achieved by getting a copy of your free triple score from all three credit bureaus.
Your free triple score report will provide you with all the information you have reporting with all three credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union. Once you have received your credit bureau report, it is crucial that you do a thorough investigation to make sure that all your information is reporting correctly. If you find that you have been a victim of identity fraud, the best thing to do in that situation is to seek professional legal help through a reputable credit attorney.
It is unfortunate if you find yourself dealing with the situation of having your identity stolen, but there several steps you can take to prevent identity theft before it happens. The first step is to arm yourself with identity protection. Many credit card companies offer identity protection through a small monthly fee on your credit card, but if you have several credit cards, you may want to consider getting a more universal identity protection policy. Getting a universal identity protection policy includes using a company that works hand in hand with the 3 credit bureaus to create a lock on your credit bureau report.
Once you’ve create a lock on your credit report, no one can make any purchases using your information without having to verify some very vital information. To secure yourself even further, it is important to shred all important personal information before disposing of them. Information that should be shredded is bank statements, credit card statements, and anything that shows your Social Security Number.
Another precaution you can take is to never give your Social Security Number over the internet through an unsecured server. One way to find out if the website you are viewing is insecure is by looking at your browser window. All secure internet websites start with https: and not just http:. To make it even safer to surf the internet, you should get virus protection, spyware and a reliable internet explorer like Firefox.
My last recommendation to protection your free triple score report sounds simple enough, but a lot of people fall victim to it everyday; you should never give your Social Security Number over the telephone to a company you do not trust. Unless you have a long lasting relationship with a certain company, it is better to deal in person. If you must give sensitive information over the phone such as banking, try to establish a relationship with one particular individual in that department before you do so.

Here’s How To Get Credit Bureau To Erase Negative Info
Conleth Onu asked:
Is bad credit ruining your life? Have you been denied credit because of negative information on your credit report? Do you want to learn how to make a good credit report instantly? If you answered yes to the above questions, you’re in the right place.
Having a bad credit record will make your life difficult in many situations. Nothing can slow you down faster financially than negative information contained in a credit bureau file. Sometimes, the information is true, other times it is deceiving or even totally wrong. What can you do if you believe that you have been turned down for credit because of inaccurate or outdated information?
There are some steps that you can take, to get rid of blemishes on your report. Your first step should be to get your credit reports from the three major credit bureaus. You can get a free copy of your report one time a year, and you can also obtain one at no charge if you have been denied credit within the past 60 days.
Once you have obtained your report, examine it carefully. Make sure that all information is being reported correctly. If you find any incorrect information in your report, you can dispute it with the credit bureau.
Send a letter to the credit bureau explaining your dispute. When filing a dispute, tell the credit bureau what information you believe is incorrect and the reason why. Include any documentation that would help support your claim.
By law the credit bureaus are required to delete negative items from credit reports whenever a particular item reaches a certain age. Also, inaccuarate or unverifiable information must be deleted from credit files.
If there are accounts on your report that need to be settled, you can negotiate with the creditors. Be sure to have the creditor sign and date the settlement proposal and return it to you, before you pay them.
Once you have finished eliminating negatives from credit report, and have a clean clear credit report, it’s time to add positive information on your report.
A secured credit card can help you build good credit. It looks and works like any other major credit card. Secured Visa and Mastercard are issued against your depositing cash in a financial institution. That deposit serves as a collateral for the credit card. If you maintain a good account, your excellent credit rating will be recorded on your report.
Another effective way to add positive credit information to your credit file is to take out a small installment loan from a bank and pay it back promptly.
You can also build good credit by getting Department Store and Gas Company credit cards. By having your very own major credit card, you can qualify for instant credit at many department stores and gas stations.
Once you have established a good credit rating, you will be eligible for loans, credit cards, and other items of credit.

WHat do you think of those?
Jen. E asked:
credit cards that are specially for people with bad credit? What about the prepaid ones? Most of the cards I’ve seen so far only report to ONE credit bureau. Is that okay? Or should I find one that reports to all three? Or should I wait till my credit is good enough for a real credit card so I can help rebuild my credit? I really hate credit cards, but I am responsible enough. I just need some advice on this. I want to get all the info I can abot rebuilding my credit. Funny thing some other person responded to my other question by saying i shouldnt worry about my credit. Ok CRAZY. If you ever want to get a house, or a new car, or if money gets tight and you need a loan, or a business loan, what do you think they check? Credit DUHHH. LOL

How To Write Letters To Remove Information Off Your Credit Report
Tim Gorman asked:
Many people who look into their reports find that their credit information has errors and those errors usually affect your credit negatively.
Maintaining an accurate score sometimes requires us to be pro-active, and we must write letters to remove information off our credit report. These are sent to the big 3 credit bureaus. Although in many cases the first thing most people want to do is to call the Credit Bureau and tell them off, this would be counterproductive. Instead the best method would be to sit down and write a credit report dispute letter.
You should read your credit report, take notes as to what you consider the problem areas are and think whether what’s on the report could actually be true. If, in finding that what’s on the report is false, you need to think through how you’re going to word your letters to remove info off credit report. You’re going to have to send a copy of this letter to each of the three main credit bureaus: TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. Be polite and state facts as you see them. See example letter below.
Dear (credit bureau name here),
After looking at a copy of my credit file, I found that it contained erroneous information. I would like to dispute this information and request a correction. I am concerned about the information that you have put in my credit report as it could seriously impair the credit rating I enjoy with lending institutions.
You have not (state the problem here).
Be sure to include the month, and the date, and the name of the business.
I am enclosing a photocopy of my cancelled check as proof of my payment. Hopefully, this will correct the accuracy of my credit file. As you are certainly aware of, the credit bureaus are only allowed to use accurate information in a consumer’s credit file.
Thank you for correcting the above errors to insure that it doesn’t impair my personal credit. Please contact me as soon as the correction has been made and my credit report is again accurate. Please send a copy of my credit report to: (place mailing address here).
Yours,
(Your name)
Be sure to include your full name as listed in your credit report, address, Social Security number, copy of your driver’s license, copy of the credit report, and copy of your proof, i.e. cancelled check.
Be sure to retain a copy of whatever you send to each credit bureau. Make a note of the date that you mail your letters to remove info off credit report. Using certified or registered mail is a good idea, as this will give you proof of the mailing date.

Question for Bbdancer, CatDad, Echo, Spiffiman or knowledgeable contributors?
Ashley asked:
I am 20 years old, and pulled my credit report about 3 months ago. I found three collection accounts on my credit report.
I am 20 years old, and pulled my credit report about 3 months ago. I found three collection accounts on my credit report.
I first disputed the accounts with the credit bureaus, who all verified the accounts. These accounts are not mine, I know they are not mine, for a business in a state I have never been to.
My next step was to send the collection agencies a certified letter requesting validation of debt, that was over 2 months ago, no response from any of them.
I was doing research on Y/A and found out that now I should dispute the accounts with the credit bureaus again and send certified mail with copies of validate letters, that they failed to answer OR I should contact the credit bureaus for something called Method of Validation.
My question is can anyone help me with a sample letter or tell me how to word a letter to the credit bureaus saying they should delete the accounts because the collectors did not validate. I am not good at writing letters, I feel inadequate.
Also should I list all three accounts on one letter to each bureau?

What legal action do I have against a debt collector who refuses to validate a debt?

Grand Master B asked:
I have been trying to clean up my credit and I have had a lot of luck doing so. Most of the debts have been deleted from my credit report except for a few. But one debt collector has been particularly difficult. Asset acceptance says I owe over a thousand dollars from an old credit cardd. All three bureaus said the the debt was verified by Asset when Itriedd to dispute the debt with themoriginallyy. I have sent at least 3 certified letters over a 4 or 5 month period to them requesting validation of the debt and the have sent me nothing. They still continue to send me bills and are also still reporting the debt to all the creditbureauss. Whats my next step? Can I go back to the credit bureaus and demand them todeletet it because the debt collector obviously can not prove the debt? As a last resort I think I might have to sue Asset in order to get this information deleted from my credit reports, but what exactly can I sue for and how much should I sue for?

Charged for free cellphones if you terminate contract early?
Long story short. I canceled my family plan that had three lines on it. i paid the cancelation fee for each phone. i checked my credit report a year later and there are three collections for $100 each. they are all from the same company. i call up the company because my report is squeaky clean except for these three things i have no idea are about. the company tells me the charges are for the free phones i got with my contract. they said they supply the phones and if i cancel my contract early they dont get paid the full amount for the phones so i need to pay them. i talk to at&t and they say thats not correct because the cancelation fees cover everything. i call the collectors back and they say sorry you have to pay it. i try to dispute it with the credit bureaus. they tell me i do owe it.
i have tried googling this and talking to people but it seems to be one of those things that keeps me going in circles and wanting to pull out my hair. I want to buy a house and need to get this off my report. any help?

How is it not considered extortion and defamation?
joecseko asked:
I was hospitalized late last year for a period of 4 months.Due to a lack of income I was eligible for Medicaid.My Medicaid number was given to all parties who treated me after I got out of the hospital.By the time I got around to checking my credit reports there was negative information posted by collection agencies before I even got out of hospital.I’ve given my number to the worst of all of these companies ACB Receivables Management.They still insist I was not covered when everyone else has already received their payments and refuse to remove the negative information even after I presented them with a letter from NJDHS that claims that I was covered during the time that I was reported for.ACB still insists that I was not covered even though I’ve given them proof that I was and edicaid covers all of the treatments that I received.Mycredit score has dropped to below 600 and this is the only negative information on my reports.I’ve disputed with all three bureaus and they will not remove
Thanks for the suggestion about office of the Attorney General.They’ve done nothing at all and ACB was reported to them months ago by me on this matter.I’ve also contacted the FTC who says that they don’t handle this kind of thing.
UMMM.I did clearly state that I’ve disputed it several times with all three bureaus.So doing it for the third time really won’t help will it.ACB continues to respond that the debt is valid
BBB is a joke too.They just take money from companies that belong to the BBB and hide the complaints so that the companies will still pay them.

How to Get Correction Letters For Credit Reports – Advice on How to Check Your Credit History
Tim Gorman asked:
Lenders want to see a track record of debts owed and duly repaid. If you do not have a traditional credit record that shows payments made on credit card purchases, a car loan, or a student loan, it is still possible to establish a credit history. Many lenders have been griping that the supposedly all-important FICO credit score has failed to accurately predict the possibility of default on loans of various types. As a result there are new initiatives in the works to come up with better ways to figure out who’s going to pay and who’s going to skip out. Check your credit history from the reputable reporting agencies to see if you have erroneous bad credit information contained on your report with their organization or company. If so, you must submit correction letters for credit reports to clear that up thus raising your financial score. Many lenders brazenly advertised “low-doc” and “no-doc” loans that required borrowers to provide little or no documentation of their ability to repay. They even pushed “ninja” loans, requiring no income, job or assets.
Banks, leasing companies, lawyers, doctors and others might report an account if it becomes delinquent or is in default. Criminal convictions and credit applications of more than $150,000 are reported indefinitely. Bankruptcy information can be reported for 10 years. You have the right to obtain a copy of your credit report from a credit bureau.
State exactly what the problem is; state the facts as you know them, provide copies (not originals) of supporting documentation, and request a deletion or correction of erroneous data. Send your complaint letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, so that you can prove what the CRA received. State governments have only recently decided motor vehicle and tax data should be protected in some way.
Calling the credit grantors can be a drag, but when you call one of the bureaus listed below, that bureau will share the information with the other two. All three credit reports will be sent to you free of charge. Call toll-free 1-877-IDTHEFT (438-4338).
Call any one of the three credit reporting agencies when you want to (1) request that a fraud alert be placed on your account; or (2) order a free credit report from the agency. We recommend that you request a free credit report from each agency with a four-month interval between requests to each agency (i.e., a request to one agency, wait four months, then submit a request to the next agency, etc.).
Credit reporting data is maintained by the credit bureaus on more than 170 million Americans. Credit scores are calculated directly based on current credit data, then subsequently pulled by lenders. Credit report information is returned instantly in an easy-to-read format. Credit Reports are among key credit factors that are checked by credit report companies. I would suggest that you check your credit before you apply for any type of loan which will check your credit score and credit report information. You will submit correction letters for credit reports. Credit lenders will make their decision about your service by checking your credit report .
If you are looking for your credit reports, want advice on maintaining strong credit or want tips on debt management, we have the information you need. Learn how to get your credit reports, understand your credit score, manage credit card debt or build your credit. These reports are compiled by agencies that gather information about your credit relationships and are known as credit bureaus. Currently there are three major credit bureaus. Your financial reports are often reviewed by individuals to verify that information is accurate, to confirm reasons for rejection of credit or insurance, or to identify fraudulent activities. File correction letters for credit reports to correct false information. most reports are generally obtained by businesses and employers in order to measure a consumer’s ability to pay off expenses and debts.
Almost all reports contain a certain amount of personal information. This is called identifying information and, among other things, allows the credit-reporting agency to distinguish between one Robert Smith from California and another Robert Smith from California.
