Low Interest Credit Cards

Consumers who miss repayments on their loans or credit cards are often aware that their credit report is affected every time this occurs. However, many people forget about the damage they are doing to their credit report, believing that it is not a serious problem or that they won’t need a solid credit report in the near future. This, unfortunately, is often not the case. Consumers often rely on emergency loans or new credit cards to continue with their day-to-day activities, especially if they are hit by a sudden financial problem. It is also worth remembering that employers often look at a prospective employee’s credit report when deciding to make a hiring, so the potential damage by ignoring the report is significant.

This is a right given to you under the Federal Law and you are entitled to dispute any information that is incorrect. You can report to the credit reporting agencies who are reporting the data and the furnisher as well (the credit card issuing company, the debt collector, or auto lender for instance). The furnisher will have to carry out the investigation and report within a period of 30 days.

But it is not necessary that the item will be fixed just because it is disputed. Stuart K. Pratt from the Consumer Data Industry Association (CDIA) has said in a written testimony that was submitted in 2007 to the House Financial Services Committee that out of the 52 million credit file disclosures that had been reviewed by the consumers, there were just about 1.98% of them that resulted in disputes where the data had been deleted.

One of the studies conducted by the three major credit bureaus in the country has revealed that there is less than a percent chance of credit reports having errors that can have an impact on the credit score of the customer.

This particular study was conducted by the Policy and Economic Research Council based in Durham, North Carolina. The head of this center, Michael Turner, said that as a part of the study a large number of credit reports were analyzed and it was found that it is extremely rare that the credit reports have errors which can lead to an impact on the credit worthiness of the customer.

The council also said that, as a part of this study, around 2,338 people were surveyed in 2010 between February and May and their credit reports were studied.
