A number of individuals are often declined credit each year. In most cases, this happens when applying for a credit card, loan, home or car. While this is the case, there may be a chance the individual can clean up a report and reapply. In some cases, individuals can achieve this task by contacting creditors and working out payment plans. Whereas, at others, it may take working with credit repair companies in order to remove errors and negative marks on a report.

To understand how these companies work, one must first understand the definition of repair. Technically, when fixing a report, one must disrupt errors by filing a written dispute. In most cases, individuals can then deny these conflicts either online or through snail mail.

The formal dispute will often include an explanation of the error. At which time, the individual must also submit any documentation which can prove the diminished rating is a mistake. In most cases, people do not have the time or capacity to work with reporting agencies to remove these issues.

Repair companies often charge a flat fee for providing this service. As such, most often those contacting these companies are dealing with issues such as identity theft, or false charges which a past card holder may have never know about. Whereas, the most damaging marks on a report, and the most difficult to remove are those related to foreclosure and repossession.

In most cases, the company represents an individual when needing to improve ratings so that one can obtain a lease, car loan, home or unsecured loan. While this is the case, it should be noted that clean up can often take a long time. In some cases, this can be weeks. Whereas, when there are multiple errors, it can often take months or years.

The fees are often much higher for removing issues related to identity theft. For, not only will the company work to remove errors resulting from criminal activity, most often the authorities are involved. As such, this can slow down the process, resulting in more time and work on behalf of the reporting agency.

In the case of a report not matching card purchase records, these can often be honest errors. When this is the case, it is important to contact the card company and merchant to have the error removed as quickly as possible. In most cases, the individual will need to supply receipts and other documentation related to the purchase which proves any errors on a report are actually in error.

Basically, by running a free credit report, individuals can obtain enough information to assure the information stated is accurate. Which, if that is not the case and there are errors on a report due to activity one does not recognize, it can often take a long time to resolve the issues. For, in most cases, when this happens it is either due to identity theft or charges made to a card by someone other than the card holder whom had no idea the charges were made.
