Dispute Resolution

You have the right to dispute any information we report to the credit bureaus. We investigate every dispute and respond within 30 days as required by federal law. See our complete data furnisher policies for full details.

How the dispute process works

There are two ways to dispute information we've reported: through a credit bureau (indirect) or directly with us. Both result in a full investigation.

Through a Credit Bureau

1

You file a dispute with Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion (online, by phone, or by mail)

2

The bureau sends us an ACDV (Automated Credit Dispute Verification) through e-OSCAR

3

We investigate by reviewing our payment records and any documentation you provided

4

We respond through e-OSCAR — verifying, modifying, or deleting the data

5

The bureau notifies you of the result within 30 days

Directly With Us

1

Submit a dispute through your client portal or using the form below

2

Include your full name, account details, and what you believe is inaccurate

3

We investigate by comparing the disputed data against our internal records

4

If inaccurate, we correct or delete the data with all bureaus we reported to

5

We notify you of the result within 30 days of receiving your dispute

What is e-OSCAR?

e-OSCAR (Online Solution for Complete and Accurate Reporting) is the automated system that manages dispute communications between credit bureaus and data furnishers. When you dispute information with a bureau, e-OSCAR routes it to us electronically.

ACDV

Automated Credit Dispute Verification — the electronic form the bureau sends us when you file a dispute

AUD

Automated Universal Dataform — used when we need to proactively update or correct data with a bureau

30 Days

Federal law requires us to complete our investigation and respond within 30 days of notification

What you can dispute

Payment Status

If you believe a payment was reported as late when it was on time, or vice versa

Account Status

If your account shows the wrong status (open vs closed, current vs delinquent)

Balance Information

If the reported balance, payment amount, or past-due amount is incorrect

Account Dates

If the account opening date, last payment date, or other dates are wrong

Identity Information

If your name, address, or other identifying information is reported incorrectly

Account Ownership

If you don't recognize the account or believe it was opened fraudulently

Your rights under federal law

FCRA § 623(a)(8)

Right to Dispute Directly

You have the right to dispute information directly with us, not just through the credit bureaus. We are required to investigate direct disputes under the same standards and timelines as bureau-initiated disputes.

FCRA § 623(b)

Right to Investigation

When notified of a dispute, we must conduct a reasonable investigation. This means actually reviewing our records — not rubber-stamping the existing data. If we cannot verify the accuracy of the data, we must modify or delete it.

FCRA § 623(a)(1)

Right to Accuracy

We are prohibited from furnishing information that we know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. If we discover an error — through a dispute, an audit, or any other means — we must correct it with all bureaus.

FCRA § 611

Right to Notification

You have the right to be notified of the results of any investigation. If we modify or delete information, you will be informed. If we verify the data as accurate, you will also be informed of that determination.

File a dispute with a bureau

You can also dispute directly with any credit bureau. They will forward the dispute to us through e-OSCAR.
