Rights Regarding Credit Repair
As of now it is not legal to remove accurate and timely negative information from a credit report. The law allows an individual to ask for an investigation of information in a credit report file that an individual disputes as inaccurate or incomplete. There is no charge for this. Some people hire a company to investigate on their behalf, but anything a credit repair clinic can do legally, any person can do at little or no cost. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA):
- Individuals are entitled to a free report if a company takes “adverse action”, like denying an application for credit, insurance, or employment. Consumers have to ask for a report within 60 days of receiving notice of the action. The notice will give the name, address, and phone number of the consumer reporting company. Another right is being entitled to one free report a year, unemployed and plan to look for a job within 60 days; welfare; or if the report is inaccurate because of fraud, including identity theft.
- Each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — is required to provide a free copy of a credit report once every 12 months, just ask for it. The three companies have a central website, a toll-free telephone number, and a mailing address for consumers to order the free annual credit reports the government entitles them to. **
