What to do
Check whether it is a past employer or an unknown person's information. Request correction through the bureau if factually wrong.
Check the outcome
Save a dated copy of the relevant report, statement, or agreement. Verify the actual account terms and subsequent updates. A tool or dispute cannot guarantee a score increase or remove accurate information merely because it is unfavorable.
