Errors on My Credit Report? Not a Chance!

(Another slected entry from a previous post on a different blog)

Guess again....

In the 2004 report "Mistakes Do Happen: A Look At Errors In Consumer Credit Reports" published by the National Association of State PIRGs, it was noted that 79% of credit reports surveyed contained "either serious errors or mistakes of some kind".

79% of ALL credit reports contain errors in case you just glanced over that part!

Additionally, here is what they found.....

  • 25% of the reports contained serious errors that could result in the denial of credit, such as false delinquencies or accounts that did not belong to the consumer;
  • 54% contained personal demographic information that was misspelled, long outdated, belonged to a stranger, or was otherwise incorrect;
  • 22% of the credit reports listed the same mortgage or loan twice;
  • 8% (almost) were missing major credit, loan, mortgage or other consumer accounts that demonstrate the creditworthiness of the consumer;
  • 30% contained credit accounts that had been closed by the consumer but remained listed as open.
