CHAPTER 3 OF 7AT YOUR OWN PACE

Review your personal information

Start with names, addresses and other identifying details.

In this chapter
  1. Check your details
  2. Prepare your free correction letter
  3. Keep your documents private

Review your identifying details first.

Look through the names, addresses, telephone numbers and other personal information shown on each report. Identify exactly what you believe is incorrect or outdated.

Use your free correction letter.

The personal information template is free to use without signing in. Select the bureau, review its mailing address and complete the letter using your own facts.

Keep identity documents on your device.

Follow the template’s identity and address proof checklist. Save your completed letter and attachments yourself. Never post your Social Security number, report or identity documents in public comments.

Jeannette’s reason for starting here

A clear personal information section makes the report easier to review before you move to account details. Each bureau decides the correction; an old entry is not automatically removable merely because it is old.

Reading a chapter does not record a mailing, change your account progress or unlock paid tools. Take each action when you are ready.
