Credit restoration is all about returning your credit report and score to its previous state. Unless you once had perfect credit, the important thing to do is to get started to improve your scores. Your credit score is determined by a complex algorithm applying weighted values to many data factors. Very important is length of your credit history, the number and types of accounts you have, how much is owed compared to your total credit line, and how timely payments have been made.
Credit reporting services, such as Equifax, deal with millions of credit files and are constantly updating the info in those files. Mistakes are bound to be made while trying to manage that much data. Some of the most common errors are these:
-
Duplicate records
-
Accounts that belong to others
-
Paid or closed accounts that have not been removed
-
Items that have been successfully disputed but never removed
-
Accounts or charges resulting from identity theft
-
Balances posted in error
-
Records of credit entries taken without your knowledge or consent
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) allow you to investigate and challenge questionable items on your credit report. It is legal and ethical to remove unfairly reported listings from your credit report. You, the consumer, can dispute on your own provided you know the protocol.
