The 4 Things to Check on Every Credit Report (Before You Dispute)

from Credit Repair Business Secrets · host Credit Repair Cloud

A credit report audit before Round 1 is the difference between fast credit repair results and months of wasted dispute rounds, and most Credit Heroes skip it. Join Our FREE Start Repairing Credit Challenge: http://startrepairingcredit.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=344&utm_term=creditrepair Daniel Rosen has spent more than 20 years in this business, and he sees the same mistake constantly. A Credit Hero opens a new client's report, sees a pile of negatives, grabs a template, and fires off disputes on everything at once. Thirty days later half of it comes back "verified," and the whole case stalls. The reason is simple: there was never a plan. Round 1 went out before anyone actually read the file. That is what the audit fixes. Before you dispute a single item, you read the whole report top to bottom and check: Personal info for old or mixed-up names, addresses and employers The positive open accounts that are helping the file, so you know not to touch them Credit utilization, which sometimes holds the score down more than the negatives do The damage itself: late payments, charge-offs and collections Experian, Equifax and TransUnion against each other, since they rarely match The good news is you don't have to do any of that by hand. Inside Credit Repair Cloud, you click Import/Audit, pick your template, and the Simple Audit reads the report and lays it all out. You can even show that audit to a lead on a consultation so they can see exactly where they stand, which is what turns a lead into a paying client. Once you know the file, then you dispute, starting with verification and putting the burden of proof on the bureau or furnisher. From there you factually dispute the real errors with your proof behind them. Tune in!  P.S.
