Credit Repair results are best accomplished with leverage. There is little use in engaging the massive credit reporting system without a clear and precise knowledge of the areas where you will be able to gain a foothold. The system is cumbersome and prone to indolence. Where there is no advantage to the credit bureaus to comply with your credit repair efforts they will certainly find a way to ignore even your most heartfelt pleadings. But use the law properly in your credit repair and you will move mountains.

Expect Resistance

The credit bureaus are governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is both their gospel and a millstone around their neck. Most of the effective credit repair techniques that you will employ will utilize the routines and procedures mandated for the bureaus by the FCRA. And although the bureaus generally will comply they will not enjoy it and they may even resist. Your efforts must be made with an insight into the procedures that the bureaus have put into place in order to cooperate with the FCRA as well as their passive-aggressive techniques of resistance.

Section 611

The most relevant part of the FCRA to your credit repair project is Section 611. This outlines the responsibilities of any national credit bureau, including Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, to process consumer disputes of the accuracy of information appearing on their credit reports. In brief, the credit bureaus must complete the processing of your dispute within 30 days of receiving the dispute. Within that 30 day period is included 5 days in which the credit bureau must notify the furnisher of the disputed information.
