1 out of 3 credit burea refused to remove items from credit file claims i have to dispute with creditor?

Question

experian has refused to help with me with my disputes on my credit report even when transunion and equifax has done a good job resolving my issues...experian is insisting they can't help me that i would have to go back o the creitor and dispute the information but we all know the creditors are only going to want to settle which end up still having me pay some sort of money out of pocket which should not be the case in the first place please advise as this is really hurting my credit

Answer 1

I had this same problem when I disputed some items on my credit report. For some reason, that was the only report remained on. I have no idea why. One thing I've noticed is that Trans Union is the most popular of three (at least in my area) so I was just glad to get it off that one! I continued working on it and calling the creditor and I think I was finally able to get it off the Experian report - but it was no thanks to them.

Answer 2

You do not want to dispute everything. You will like crazy and they won't believe you when some of the items are false, when you are also disputing the factual information. If those are actual debts you owe, then call the collectors and settle them. If the $425 debt is accurate, leave it and pay the thing off so it shows up as $0. The bureaus are probably showing diff names (more on that below) or different parts of the account number. Some bureaus/reports, show the last part of the account number, some show the first part. If you have 3 debts under different names, I'd really just have to see the report. It really depends on what names they use. Most people get very mixed up about credit cards and things because you will see for example Home Depot card show up as "Citibank" because Citibank is the bank in charge of the card. Your credit goes up when you show "creditworthiness". And how do you show that? You pay your debts on time. You have open lines of credit that you manage and leave at $0 or pay off every month.

Answer 3

You state that if you go back to the lender that they are going to want you to pay something.

This indicates that the information you are trying to get removed is correct.

If this is the case? ? Then Experian is correct in what they told you. Which means Transunion and Equifax missed the boat.

Answer 4

Contact the U.S. Attorney General Office and have them charged, along with the disputed creditor, for conspiracy. Also, sue Experian for the royalties you are due from the money they have made off of your Credit Rating, ask for interest too.
We are entitled to protection under the Constitution, though we usually are shunned if we not have the big bucks to pay off those that are supposed to protect us under that Constitution. So, all you can do is try.

Answer 5

Contact your local attorney general about them. I've had erroneous things put on my credit report before, and they've told me the same thing. The others were very nice about taking it off. It is not your responsibility to take it off if it is untrue, it's theirs! If you owe the money, you should just pay it. It would be your own fault in that case.

Answer 6

They only take it off if the company can't show evidence that it's legitimate. If the company responded in the 30 days allowed and showed proof that the debt is legitimate, then they're absolutely right to keep it on. In that case, you need to go back to the lender.

Answer 8

They're not going to remove things just because you say so, that would destroy the value of the rating.

I think their position is perfectly logical.

Answer 9

do you owe the money ?
