A Letter From Publisher Plano, TX Saturday, January 28, 2006 8:23AM Dear Reader: Inside this e-book you will find a collection of important sample letters that can be used to handle a wide variety of credit situations might occur. Some of these letters may not be used in your particular situation. If you need help with how to write or what to write – it’s right here! After reading these letters, you should be able to write your own letter that effectively deals with your own credit situation. These letters were written in different styles. Use them as models for your own letters. Remember, always reword if you use one of these letters as a template, so that they do not sound like they are written by a lawyer or credit repair consultant. Otherwise, it is very likely that your request is denial. Many credit bureaus will show more resistance if a professional does it. I wish you the best of luck.

Bruce Liu P.S. One more thing. There’s nothing that brings me more happiness or satisfaction than hear from customers who have used this information to write their own credit repair letters that make the credit bureaus or the creditors take immediate notice.

Tips For Writing Effective Credit Repair Letters 1.

Keep Simple And Clear

When you write a dispute letter, always write it in simple manner. Succinctly describe the problem you try to resolve. How the problem has affected your ability to get credit, employment, insurance. How the problem potentially cause you to suffer some specific financial loss, such as reject credit, mortgage, get higher interest, etc. Why you think the items you are disputing are wrong. Give number of specific reasons. Don’t provide details that will only confuse the situation. Only provide information that can help you resolve the problem. Never show anything you are unsure about what you want to do with the negative entries.

2.

Keep Short

You should dispute no more than 4-5 items at a time. Don’t write a letter that is more than a page long. Your letter is first read by a lower-level employee called the "checker". If your letter is too long, complex or vague, the checker may write you back telling you that your dispute is frivolous, or send you a letter asking for more information. Remember, credit bureaus are bombarded with more than 10,000 letters a day.

3.

Be Creative

Create and utilize techniques that help further the idea that the dispute letter is from a truly wronged and disadvantaged consumer. If there is a negative item that you want removed from your credit, such as a bankruptcy, charge off or collection account, you may want to write that this is NOT your account and you want it removed immediately. If the account is now paid off, but was seriously past due at one time, DO NOT write that it's not your account. Instead, write that it is your account but was NEVER past due and you need it updated. You should say that everything has always been current. Send disputes during busy times of the year. For Example: The first to middle of November can cause a delay in verification because of Thanksgiving. Christmas rush for the creditor and the bureau can catch them before they can thoroughly investigate within a reasonable time According to law, the credit bureau must response your request with 30 days, if they cannot get verification from the creditor, most likely they will straight up your credit record.

4.

Be Polite

Your first one or two disputes should be friendly and polite. Just like any other consumer, you can become frustrated and threatening as time passes. You may threaten to hire an attorney, you may threaten to complain to the FTC and your state's attorney general, etc. But don’t rude. Don’t overdo it.

5.

Always Provide & Keep Documentations

Provide the documentations you believe that can verify your statements. If your payments were not credited to your account, then you’ll need copies of cashed checks or bank statements. But, never send originals. Provide full information that the credit bureau can contact you. Be sure to place your mailing address, home phone, and phone on every piece of correspondence. Always keep a copy of your completed investigation request form, dispute letter, and backup documentation. They provide you with the records of what you said and when you said it. Also, the date on letter will let you know when you should have heard back from the credit bureaus.

6.

Write Letter By Yourself

Always remember that if the dispute is sent in from anyone other than you, the credit bureau will suspect that you have paid someone to repair your credit. This raises all sorts of Red Flags. It is imperative that you let credit bureaus believe you are working alone and trying to fix a real legitimate mistake. To get the very best results, if possible, you may write all of your letters by hand because it looks like more personalized. The credit bureau tends to take it more serious than typewrite letter. Now, many credit-repair consultants now have all of their letters written by hand in the very same simple style.

7.

NEVER Give Credit Bureaus More Information Than They Need

Always include all information that credit bureau require, but NEVER give credit bureaus more information than they need! The bureaus have a right to request a copy of your social security card, but only give a copy of the front. They also may request a copy of something showing your address if it is different than what is showing on the report. Send them only billing statement that has your address. Do not send them a copy of your driver’s license or as they request. Remember the credit bureaus are information-gathering companies who sell your information, not only for credit, but also for promotional reasons.

8.

Always Be Persistent And Never Give Up

It is possible the credit bureaus reject your request, the very first thing you should do is be persistent and never give up. Be more insistent. Don’t be upset. It could be the common delay strategy that credit bureau often used. It could be you lack of enough documents to support your case. Try to find additional documentations that will help your case. Write your second or even third dispute letter. In your letter, again states what the problem is, why you believe the item you disputing is wrong and how the problem affect your ability to get credit, obtain mortgage, or get insurance, using stronger words. Stick to your story no matter. Don’t show any signs of weakness or hesitancy in your letter. If you give them such impression that the disputing item is POSTIVELY and 100% wrong, most like the credit bureau clear up your record rather than spending more time and money to investigate the individual issue. People who have successfully cleaned their credit report say that they have denied a bankruptcy or judgment and have received verification from the credit bureau that it was in public record. They denied a second time and some even a third time, and finally the credit bureau deleted the bankruptcy from the report. So do not get discouraged! Patience and persistence are important keys to incredible success in repairing a damaged credit report.

9.

Do Not Bombard The Credit Bureaus With Disputes

Sending one dispute right after another is wasteful and counterproductive. You may wind up alienating the credit bureau so that they hold up your progress. As you submit one dispute after another, it may become increasingly difficult to get the checker to initiate an investigation. The checker is only interested in investigating disputes that “truly” are erroneous and damaging. Again, because the credit bureaus are flooded with requests, they tend to give priority to those that seem most urgent. Also remember, that credit repair is a time-consuming operation requiring great patience. The rule of thumb is to wait 60 days between disputes of the same listing.

10.

Sign Your Letter And Send It By Return Receipt Certified Mail

Make sure to sign each letter before you send it on. An unsigned letter is an unofficial document that no one takes seriously, and often times is easily tossed in the garbage. Send the letter along with other support documentations through certified/return receipt mail. It will greatly increases your chance of a response.

Copyright  PrimeMax Marketing Group All Rights Reserved

There are a few more important things you need to AVOID when you write your dispute letter: (1). (2). (3). (4). (5).

Explain why and how the negative credit came about. Claim that your file has been mixed-up with someone else’s. Confirm the account if any information about the item is wrong Use letterhead (It will raise Red Flags). Quote the FCRA or other legal matters in your letter.

Here is the bad dispute sample letter: “….. I have highlighted and numbered these disputed items on the attached copy. The reasons why these items should be deleted are indicated below: Item #

Reason for Deletion

According to the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 (a) [15 USC 1681i(a)], these disputed items must be reinvestigated or deleted from my credit record within 30 days.

Please notify me that the above items have been deleted pursuant to 611 (a) (6) [15 USC 1681j (a) (6)]. I am also requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed below. According to the provisions of 612 [15 USC 1681j], there should be no charge for this report. ” ------My credit application was recently denied and according to the attached letter that I received less than sixty days ago from the company that denied me credit, your credit bureau issued the report that was used to determine my credit evaluation. Section 609 [15 USC 1681g] of the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970 provides that your credit bureau should send me all information on file that led to my credit application being denied. According to the provisions of Section 612 (b) [15 USC 1681j (b)], there should be no charge for this information. “

Notification Of Lawsuit Letter Against Credit Bureau

Customer Service Dear Customer Service of : Enclosed is a copy of the lawsuit that I filed against you in (name of county you are living) court on . Currently the Pre-trail Conference is scheduled for in courtroom . The case number is . The reason the lawsuit was filed was due to a completely inadequate response from your company. When someone is the victim of identity theft, it is simply a nightmare trying to get false information removed from a credit file. I have contacted all of the false creditors listed on my credit file. I have challenged all of the false listings on my credit file. Nothing ever happens to fix the situation. Over 90 days ago I wrote each the creditors in question and demanded proof that I am their customer. I asked for proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. So far none of them has been able to provide such proof to me. I have sent follow-up letters to each of them and there is still no proof. I have attempted phone contact, but I simply get transferred around and nothing ever gets accomplished. I have copies of the certified letters and dates prepared to bring to court on . Also, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, these disputed items should not appear on my credit report if they cannot be supported by any evidence. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, if they cannot verify the debt within 30 days, then it must be removed. Your letters to me claim to have ‘verified’ the debt, but this is in fact not true under law. Simply contacting the alleged creditor and asking them to match up numbers in their database is no sufficient verification for identity theft. Of course the information matches up. Someone clearly used my information without my authorization. Now I am suing for being such a pain in the posterior to me. I have provided more than sufficient evidence to get these false accounts removed.

You may contact me before at or at the address listed at the top of this letter. This matter can be settled simply by your agreement to remove the false information from my credit file. I require a response, on point, in writing, hand signed, and in a timely manner.

This will proceed in court until I have successfully proven to a judge that this false information must be removed from my credit file. I will also be aggressively pursuing the full judgment that I can get against for violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Defamation. I have already won a similar lawsuit against .

I immediately disputed this information with and the results of the investigation came back "verified". Not only was I never late on this account, but according to the FCRA, you are required to notify me of the insertion of negative listings. You are also required to furnish me with documentation regarding information you are reporting to the credit bureaus if I ask for it. Since I have disputed the lateness with the credit bureaus, and you obviously "verified" them. In order to clear up this matter, I would like to see, at the very minimum, a payment history from your company showing me I was late on these dates. If you don't provide to me within 30 days the information, I will assume you have no documentation and therefore you were negligent in providing the credit bureaus with accurate information. I request that you remove my late payments and also the "account closed by credit grantor" from my credit report. Please correct this listing to "paid as agreed - never late", and remove late for .

Negotiation A Settlement To Reduce Debt For Your Outstanding Account

Dear Customer Service of : I am writing to request assistance in correcting erroneous information pertaining to my account #__________________ shown on my credit report. I was involved in a traumatic divorce which necessitated leaving my home. All outstanding accounts were to have been taken care of in the proceedings. With changes to my address and marital status, perhaps any billings that were sent, concerning unpaid accounts, missed me. While trying to rebuild my life, I discovered these accounts such as yours that were never settled. I am trying to correct my credit after going through this set back by trying to settle these accounts, and doing the best I can. The outstanding account # ________________ has a balance of $ which is a large sum for me at this time. I am writing to inquire if there is any hope for a reduced amount to satisfy the account in full. In this way I may realistically be able to settle this outstanding balance with you. I am also concerned about the negative information now on my credit file. I am advised this negative information you have placed on my files could remain in my credit reports for 7 years after payment is made. However, I have the right to remove any information from this credit report through the suppliers of information. I am requesting, because of my horrible situation, your company notify the Credit Bureaus to delete this account from my files when paid in full, as it does not reflect my personal willingness to pay my debts. Thank you in advance for your attention to this unfortunate situation. Sincerely,

Negotiation A Settlement With Utility Companies

< Regional Utilities Address> Dear Customer Service of Please be advised that this correspondence is an effort to once again satisfy the obligation listed with your company as account number _______________ and with as account number ___________ in the amount of $_____________. You state, "In order for us to maintain the integrity of all the accounts that we refer to , we will only cancel accounts if they have been referred due to an error on our part." I doubt that this is the first time a meter was not transferred from one owner to another correctly. My request does nothing to breach your integrity concerning other accounts . It is the popularly held standard that the Fair Credit Reporting Act concludes that paid collection accounts may be reported for seven years from the date of last activity. Thus, if a consumer, such as myself, were to pay off a debt, one would be burdened with the negative trade reference for an additional seven years above and beyond that time which may have already passed. It is my goal to be free from an additional seven years of negative credit data pertaining to this account. In my last correspondence dated ____________, (see enclosed copy), I requested your assistance in putting this error to rest by making payment, even though I was not the recipient of the services being billed for. I thought I had made it clear chat this proposal is being made only for the purpose of compromise and is not in any way to be construed as an admission of any liability, wrongful or negligent conduct or bad faith on the part of either party. Accordingly, I am again requesting your help in deletion of this account from my credit reports when payment in full is received as this is not accurately portraying what happened. In this instant matter, your company will collect the obligation in full and I will face no more of a credit reporting burden than that already sustained.

Negotiation A Settlement For Collection Account

Dear Customer Service of : I am writing in an attempt to settle the account you are listing under my name and social security number. I agree ___________________ Company should have been paid for service rendered but I do not agree with this being on my credit report as a bad debt. I would like to put this account to rest as I hope you would. I did not use your services but am negligent in not making certain the person buying the residence had changed the billing from my name to his. I never received a statement or overdue notice. I no longer was living in the home so I had no reason to suspect a payment problem. My concern is if I made payment to you in an attempt to stop negative reporting to the credit bureau, the balance in my credit file would show Zero PAID COLLECTION, and then those negative ratings would continue for another seven years. This would be wrong as it is not a true indicator of my willingness or ability to pay debts. I believe I am caught in the computers and a credit reporting system that does not tell what truly has happened. I am requesting your help in deletion of this account from my credit reports when payment in full is received as this does not accurately portray what has happened. I have been informed by reputable source that this can be done and is within the purview of the law. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and an expedient favorable resolution.

Dear Customer Service of : This letter is being sent to you in response to a notice sent to me on . Be advised that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. This is NOT a request for “verification” or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above named Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. Please provide me with the following: • • • • • • • •

What the money you say I owe is for; Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe; Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe; Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable; Identify the original creditor; Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent

I would also like to request, in writing, that no telephone contact be made by your offices to my home or to my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter by USPS.
