 TITLE: How to Dispute a Name on Your Credit Report CONTENT: Playing the Name Game\n---------------------\nUsing the dispute process to correct an outdated or inaccurate name on your credit reports is not always necessary, but the appearance of new accounts under your current name or one you no longer use can be a sign of criminal activity. That's why it's wise to check your credit reports regularly. Experian's free credit monitoring service can also notify you automatically whenever new accounts appear in your credit file, to help you detect suspicious activity before it can do harm to your credit history.
