Get free weekly reports from annualcreditreport.com (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). Look for: collection accounts you don't recognize, wrong balances, accounts past 7 years (7.5 years from date of first delinquency), re-aged accounts.
Under FDCPA, demand the collector validate the debt. Under FCRA § 623, they must conduct a reasonable investigation when you dispute. If they can't substantiate it, they must stop reporting it.
File disputes simultaneously at equifax.com, experian.com, and transunion.com or by certified mail. Be specific: state the exact error, what the correct information should be, and attach supporting documents.
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.
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.
These strategies apply to auto loan debt specifically. Auto loans are secured debt — the lender can repossess. However, deficiency balances after repossession can be disputed, especially if the sale wasn't commercially reasonable.
