How do I correct errors on my credit report?

Duquesne University | Small Business Development Center
Credit reports are gathered from many sources, so it is very easy for a mistake to be entered onto your report- such as an outstanding payment that has been settled. To fix a mistake, first send a letter to the store or the company that provided the credit bureau with the incorrect information. Also send a copy of this letter to the credit bureau, letting them know of the error. Many credit bureaus offer a Dispute Form that makes fixing a mistake easy.
