 TITLE: How to Dispute Credit Report Information CONTENT: Step-by-Step Guide for Disputing Online\n---------------------------------------\nThe quickest and easiest way to dispute your Experian credit report is to check your credit report online and submit corrections through the online [Dispute Center](;phx=disable&op=FRCD-ASK-ART-102-MDL-XXXXXXX-XX-EXP-VMAC-DIR-817XXX-21273X-XXXXX).\nYour Experian credit report is divided into sections with the following headings: Personal Information, Accounts, Inquiries and, possibly, Public Records (not all credit reports contain public records entries). Information that could be hurting your credit may appear under an additional section with the heading Potentially Negative.\nIf you've found inaccurate information on your Experian credit report, these steps will help you complete your dispute online:\n1.  **Go to the Dispute Center for details on the dispute process.** The Experian Dispute Center is your source for correcting credit report information that you consider incomplete or inaccurate. Once you've had a chance to read through the information there, click \"Start a new dispute\" to view your credit report and select an entry to dispute.\n2.  **Indicate the reason for each dispute.** Select the reason for each dispute from the dropdown box. Some entries may ask you to type in explanatory information, and in certain cases, you will be directed to provide documentation to verify the correction.\n3.  **Review and submit the dispute.** Double-check your dispute request, revise the details if you wish, and then click Submit. You'll see a confirmation page when the dispute is filed successfully, and an \"Upload a document\" link you can use to submit scanned pages to support your dispute.\n4.  **Let the dispute process play out.** Experian will send you emails when your dispute has been opened, provide updates as appropriate during the process, and let you know when your dispute results are available. You can also view these notes in the Alerts section of the Dispute Center. Once completed, your dispute results will be available in the Completed section of the Dispute Center. Generally all disputes are resolved within 30 days.\nWhen necessary, Experian will contact data furnishers (the original source of disputed information, such as a lender or other business) to verify the information you are disputing. Note that information verified as accurate cannot be removed from your credit report. END
