Pull all three credit reports

3

Dispute inaccurate entries with all three bureaus

4

Follow up after 30 days

Bureaus must investigate within 30 days. If the collector can't verify the accuracy of their entry, the bureau must delete it. If the investigation finds errors, the entry must be corrected or deleted.

5

Escalate if still unresolved

If inaccurate entries remain, file CFPB complaints against both the collector and the credit bureau. If willful violations exist, you can sue under FCRA for $100-$1,000 per violation plus actual damages.
