The Right Way To Delete Late Payments From Credit File

By Antonio Simmons


Getting harmful reporting on your credit report can injure your chances to get good offers on credit cards for low interest rates, purchase a home or even get your dream job. Keeping an eye on your credit report is a wise thing to do. If you have a poor report you can remove late payments from credit reports by being diligent and taking care of them.

I want to just advise you the procedure takes awhile so you will have to be patient when you do it. Thus just know this getting into it that you will have to allow time for the process to take place. Do not believe any websites or companies that say they can promise that they can do away with your bad credit fast. There are items that can be done and it is worth looking into however, a sound credit repair company can't provide a legitimate guarantee.

Initially, order your credit report. Get it from each of the three companies. Look it over and highlight the negatives. You will have to begin the dispute process if you want something removed and learn from their websites or documentation how to do so. They will have detailed explanations of the procedure of disputing a credit report so follow all of their steps so there is not denying your claim once they receive it.

Collect all your documentation that you have for your dispute. You'll require copies of your statements and proof of date of payment which are copies too. You won't offer originals. This really is customary practice to never give your originals. You won't have confirmation if you do.

Numerous credit bureaus have online systems where you can dispute a poor reporting on your credit report. However writing a letter is also helpful. The business has to respond in 30 days so send your dispute letter through certified mail with signature requesting services. This gives you legal proof of the letter being received.

When the claim is received the reporting company has a window of thirty days to investigate and get back to you. This is where patience is involved so you will have to wait. In the event the claim is not responded to in 30 days by the reporting company and a decision is made then they must eradicate it from your credit report. This is actually the law and you want to do this. This is decision for you to make as they must eliminate it even if you were in fact late on your payment.

Should they come back within the thirty days and say that it was in fact late then you can stop there or else you can lodge a formal protest to them. It is identical procedure that you take; it is just now a formal complaint. Once more the thirty day window of receipt must be met in order for them to deny your claim or they must remove it from your record.

Mishaps take place and you might miss a payment or it is late. Or perhaps it might be the fault of the agency you have the credit with. In any event you can get these negatives deleted with the dispute process. Ensure you maintain accurate information and hold onto your records and keep all dates of communication.
