Credit ScoringHow is my Credit Scored? Basically, credit reporting agencies do not decide your credit worthiness. That is up to the individual lending organizations, but they rely heavily on the information supplied in the credit reports, and, realistically speaking, most lending organizations will depend almost exclusively on the credit reports and the credit scores provided by and through the CRA's. The Credit Repair Organizations Act - The Credit Repair Organizations Act prohibits making false claims about credit repair. It makes it a crime for companies to collect all credit repair fees from an individual prior to services being rendered. It requires that these companies inform you about your legal rights. It demands that a credit repair company provide information about your legal rights in a written contract, which also must detail the services the company will provide you with, the duration of the services, the timeline before results can be expected, the total cost of the repair and any guarantees that are offered. The Credit Bureau - The credit bureau must provide someone to help you interpret the information in your credit file. You are entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report if you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the next 60 days, if you are a recipient of public welfare assistance, or if you have reason to believe that there is inaccurate information in your credit report due to fraud. You have a right to sue a credit repair organization that violates the Credit Repair Organization Act. This law prohibits deceptive practices by credit repair organizations. You have the right to cancel your contract with any credit repair organization for any reason within 3 business days from the date you signed it. Credit bureaus are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate. However, mistakes may occur. You may, on your own, notify a credit bureau in writing that you dispute the accuracy of information in your credit file. The credit bureau may not charge any fee for this service. Errors In Reporting - Any pertinent information and copies of all documents you have concerning an error should be given to the credit bureau. If the credit bureau’s reinvestigation does not resolve the dispute to your satisfaction, you may send a brief statement to the credit bureau, to be kept in your file, explaining why you think the record is inaccurate. The credit bureau must include a summary of your statement about disputed information with any report it issues about you.
