FAQs

Still have questions about disputing credit report errors? Here’s what you need to know.

What information can I dispute on my credit report?

You can dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on your credit report, including:

  • Personal information like your address or Social Security number.
  • Account errors like payment history, credit limits, and account statuses.
  • Fraudulent additions like accounts you never opened. 
  • Unauthorized inquiries from lenders. 
  • Incorrect public records about bankruptcies, foreclosures, and tax liens.

Is it a good idea to dispute your credit report?

Disputing errors on your credit report is a good idea if you notice potential inaccuracies. Doing this can help protect your identity and improve your credit score by removing inaccurate negative marks that unfairly lower it. Disputing your credit report can also help you improve your chances of qualifying for better loans, rentals, and interest rates down the road.

What should you do if you find errors in your credit report?

If you find errors on your credit report, you should gather any documents you have to support your claim and dispute them directly with the credit bureau. In cases where you suspect fraud, you can also contact the LifeLock member support team for help. Our restoration specialists can help you prepare to dispute inaccurate information on your credit report.

If I dispute something on my credit report, does it come off?

Disputing an error on your credit report doesn't guarantee removal—just that the credit bureau will investigate your claim. If they find incorrect information on your credit report during their investigation or a creditor fails to verify the debt, they should delete it within 30 days. If not, the information will stay on your credit report.

Can I dispute credit report errors for free?

Yes. By law, you’re entitled to dispute credit report errors free of charge. You can do this by directly contacting the credit bureaus. Or, if you’re already using a credit reporting tool like LifeLock Ultimate Plus, which offers dispute resolution support related to identity theft, you can take advantage of those services if you think your identity may have been stolen.

How long does it take to resolve credit report disputes?

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) grants national credit bureaus 30–45 days to wrap up credit dispute investigations. However, it will usually get resolved much sooner than that.
