The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires that U.S. consumers be entitled to a free credit report each year. The government閳ユ獨 goal is to make sure that consumers stay informed, fight identity theft, and get fair treatment.

How do inquiries on your credit report affect you when applying for financing?

And how long do they stay there?



How do inquiries on your credit report affect you when applying for financing?

When you apply for credit, the creditor does a hard pull inquiry. This dings your score. The more inquiries within a short timeframe, the bigger the ding.



Pulling your own credit report is a soft pull and does not affect your score.



Inquiries stay on your report for 2 years.

How do i check my credit report?

You can get all 3 of your reports once a year for free at https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/i...

You are entitled, as a consumer, to a free annual report from all three credit agencies once per year.

You can go online - theres a lot of advertisement. But don%26#039;t check it if you are not going to use it. Your score will go down everytime you check your report. When they say free - it means you will pay for it through your score.

How long will i show bad credit on credit report and does it ever clear?

Luckily things can drop off your credit report...it takes seven years. You can better help yourself if you obtain a copy of your credit report online at www.annualcreditreport.com and dispute the negative items on your report. They have 30 days to repsond to your dispute and if they don%26#039;t it gets removed from your file forever.



You can dispute things if they weren%26#039;t errors. A lot of the time the creditor doesn%26#039;t have the proper paperwork to back up your debt. And it IS seven years in CA. I know from my own experience with creditors. Do not send them a payment if the statute of limitations on how long they can file a suit against you is near it will restart your clock and you will owe them the money as of the day they received your money meaning your seven years will restart.



How long will i show bad credit on credit report and does it ever clear?

it was formerly 7 years before items would begin falling off of your credit report, however since the laws changed this past year it%26#039;s now 10 years. Your best bet is to pull your credit report and dispute any errors %26amp; as for the negative items call the creditors %26amp; negotiate a payoff balance.



How long will i show bad credit on credit report and does it ever clear?

It depends on you :



2 things :



- your bad credit history reduces your score



- your good credit history (you pay on time, have a good job, regular income, regular address, savings...) increases youor score

Anyone found accounts on your credit report that you didnt make?

cable/cellular 334.00 in collections



bellsouth 592.00 in collections



started 12/2006



what should i do



Anyone found accounts on your credit report that you didnt make?

file a dispute with the credit reporting agencies



they will confirm it or take it off your report



Anyone found accounts on your credit report that you didnt make?

Yes, we have a Verizon phone bill of about 3500 dollars from 2002 that just now appeared out of thin air, with no other prior notice or knowledge of having that kind of bill. We%26#039;re trying to fight it now. First thing we did was to contact the company and request they send us all the statements and breakdowns of calls made that whole year, even though they claim this bill was accumulated over a month%26#039;s time (yeah right). Not from my home it wasn%26#039;t.



Anyone found accounts on your credit report that you didnt make?

Thankfully, I have never had an account on my credit report that wasn%26#039;t mine. You need to file a dispute with the bureaus right away to get it corrected. They must either verify through the companies that they are your accounts or remove them from your report. You may also try contacting the companies directly, but I would wait on the response from the dispute.



Anyone found accounts on your credit report that you didnt make?

79% of all credit reports contain errors of some kind. 1 in 4 have serious errors that could cause the consumer to be denied credit. You should dispute the accuracy of the report. The burden shifts to the CRA%26#039;s to verify the accuracy. If they can%26#039;t, it comes off.



Good Luck!

Sounds like you may have been a victim of identity theft. This can range from a stranger stealing identifying information or a friend/family member using your information to open various accounts.



First dispute the accounts with the credit bureau(s) and then try and put together a paper trail of the account in question. You may be able to find out an approximate time when your personal identifying information was taken. If you can get enough information then you can file a report with police. Also be sure to have all the credit bureaus flag your credit report in reference to identity theft.



Anyone found accounts on your credit report that you didnt make?

Yes! Just recently I vviewed my annual credit report and found an account that owed some big buck that I NEVER opened up! I was so freaked out about it but I simply contacted the credit bureau and let them know that there was a discrepency. they aske dto me to fill out a form online in which they asked why the information was discrepent, I checked because I didn%26#039;t know about the account. About a week later I got a letter in the mail showing proof of removal. I was suprised that it was that easy but it really was. ok hope that it works out for you :)

I am divorced and my credit report is showing liens that were placed on my ex . How can I get those

These liens are for taxes he did not pay. I filed separately, not head of house.

I would consider protesting the entry, using their on-line site, and give a full explanation. You may have to seek a letter from the IRS stating you do not have or have you ever had any tax liens. Beware that if ever filed jointly with your husband and that return/s is part of lien then you are liable for the tax also.

Good lord, your ex-husband sounds like a hot mess.



You should get a letter from the Internal Revenue Service and then send a COPY of that letter to the 3 credit bureaus when you dispute with them.
