Do Your Clients Check for Mistakes on Their Credit Report?<\/h1>\n

More than a third of Americans say they have found at least one error in their credit report, according to a new study from Consumer Reports<\/em>. The publication asked more than 5,800 study participants to get a copy of their credit report and check it for errors between Feb. 1 and April 1. A wide range of mistakes emerged.<\/p>\n

For example, 29% of respondents uncovered errors with their personal information, while 11% found mistakes regarding their account information, which could damage their credit score, Syed Ejaz, a Consumer Reports<\/em> policy analyst, told CNBC. \u201cUnfortunately, folks sometimes find out [about these errors] way too late\u2014when they are in the middle of getting a loan for a new house or car,\u201d Ejaz said. \u201cThat is why it is really important to make sure you check your credit report and assess it for accuracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Consumer Data Industry Association, which represents the major credit reporting companies, has called the Consumer Reports investigation \u201ccompletely false and misleading.\u201d The CDIA claims the credit reporting industry has a 98% accuracy rate on credit profiles and cautioned against reading into the study\u2019s conclusions because it\u2019s based on a non-empirical survey of consumers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Still, financial experts recommend that consumers frequently monitor their credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com<\/a>. Credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion are usually available for free once a year. However, the three firms are offering free weekly credit reports<\/a>\u00a0through April 20, 2022.<\/p>\n

Consumers should contact the reporting firms directly if they find any mistakes in their credit report. The Federal Trade Commission provides a sample letter<\/a> you and your clients can send to credit bureaus to dispute errors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
