Najczęściej zadawane pytania

How long does it take to remove a wrong debt from my credit report?

Credit bureaus have 30 to 45 days to investigate your dispute. In many cases, errors are removed within this timeframe. However, complex disputes or cases requiring additional investigation may take longer. Always follow up if the error isn't removed after 45 days.

Can a debt collector keep calling me after I dispute the debt?

If you dispute in writing within 30 days of receiving the validation notice, the collector must stop collection activities until they provide written verification of the debt. However, if you miss the 30-day window, they can continue calling, though they should stop once you provide adequate evidence the debt isn't yours.

What if the debt collector says they can't find any records?

If they can't validate the debt within 30 days, they must stop collection efforts and remove the debt from your credit report. Document their inability to validate in writing. If they continue contacting you after failing to validate, file a complaint with the CFPB.

Do I need to hire a lawyer to dispute a debt?

No. You can dispute on your own using the steps outlined here. However, if the collector ignores your dispute, violates your rights, or the error is complex, an attorney specializing in consumer protection can help. Many offer free consultations.

Can the same debt appear on multiple credit reports?

Yes. A debt might be reported by the original creditor, a collection agency, and multiple credit bureaus. You'll need to dispute it with each bureau that's reporting it. Check all three reports (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) and file disputes with each one showing the error.

What should I do if I think identity theft caused this debt?

File a report with the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov and consider filing a police report. Send copies of both with your dispute letters to the credit bureaus and debt collector. Place a fraud alert on your credit report by contacting any of the three bureaus, they'll notify the others automatically.
