What you can request
Depending on circumstances, you may ask a consumer reporting agency to block information under FCRA 605B or dispute accuracy through other processes. The right path depends on whether the account resulted from identity theft.
Exact identification matters
- Creditor or furnisher name as shown on the report
- Partial or masked account number
- Date opened or reported
- Balance and status if relevant
- Which bureau furnished the data
Examples
- Unauthorized credit card tradelines
- Collection accounts from identity theft
- Specialty bureau entries you did not authorize
