 TITLE: Why Did My Credit Score Drop? CONTENT: There Is Inaccurate Information on Your Credit Report\n-----------------------------------------------------\nRegularly checking your credit reports is one of the best ways to ensure no inaccurate information shows up in your file. Although it's rare, mistakes happen, and it is possible that incorrect information on your credit report—such as inaccurate personal data or payment history—is causing your scores to drop.\nIf something in your report is inaccurate, it could be a result of a lender accidentally reporting the wrong information. It could also be a sign that you have fallen victim to identity fraud. If you see something you believe is inaccurate, dispute the information with all three credit bureaus as soon as possible. But keep in mind, some pieces of data can't be disputed, like credit inquiries, accurate birth dates and credit scores. END
