A mistake on your credit report can have serious consequences. Incorrect information could affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage, finance a vehicle, rent an apartment, or obtain credit. Checking your credit reports can help you identify inaccurate or unauthorized information before it creates bigger problems. Errors
Can Happen From:
- Inaccurate Public Record Information
- Identity Theft Affecting Your Credit History
- Incorrect Payment Histories
- Incorrect Account Statuses
- Incomplete or Missing Credit Information
- Unauthorized Credit Card Use
Bankruptcy Errors
A bankruptcy discharge should provide a fresh financial start—but inaccurate credit reporting can make it harder to move forward. Discharged debts may continue appearing on your credit report or show an incorrect balance. Creditors are responsible for accurately reporting discharged debt. If your bankruptcy information has not been properly updated, legal help may be available to address the error.
Background Check Errors
An inaccurate background check can affect your employment, housing, and reputation. Errors may occur when information belongs to someone with a similar name, or when outdated or incorrect criminal information remains on your report. Even when charges were dismissed or you were exonerated, inaccurate information can continue causing harm. If your background report contains errors, taking action can help protect your reputation and future opportunities.
