Find the same account three times
Match account names, dates, balances, and status across bureaus.
The plain-language idea
A useful credit decision starts with a specific reported fact, a source you can check, and a record that supports what you say. A confusing entry is a reason to investigate—not proof that the reporting is wrong.
Read each bureau report on its own, then compare the same account across all three. Write down the precise field that concerns you: a balance, date, status, ownership detail, or payment notation. Keep the question narrow enough that you can answer it with a document or first-hand knowledge.
Accurate and current negative information generally cannot be removed simply because it is negative. If you identify information you believe is inaccurate, incomplete, or not yours, you may dispute it yourself for free. Credit Orchard can help organize the facts, records, approval, mailing, and responses.
