How Can Credit Repair Increase My Credit Score?

Your credit score is determined by the information on your credit report, and each account on these credit reports contains many details. Ensuring that these details are reported in a fair and accurate manner is essential to get the credit score you deserve.

Part of Veracity's service includes disputing inaccurate information on your credit reports. More importantly, Veracity helps you identify and boost "positives" in your data, which can also increase your credit score.

The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) says a credit bureau (CRA) must investigate and verify, upon request, the completeness and accuracy of information on your credit reports. The FCRA therefore provides consumers the legal right to dispute inaccurate, incorrect, or misleading information on their credit reports.

The credit bureaus are given 30-45 days to investigate the credit dispute. If the bureaus determine they've been reporting inaccurate information, or if they are unable to verify the item, they either correct or remove the item in dispute. The bureaus then supply the consumer (you) with updated account information, usually in the form of fresh credit reports.

Helping you navigate these laws and increase your credit score is part of the Veracity credit repair service. Negative report information that is inaccurate can be disputed and removed. Removing this information can increase your credit score significantly.

Deciphering credit reports and choosing which information should be disputed can be challenging. Veracity's specialists have analyzed thousands of reports, and they can quickly help you identify areas of potential concern. Whether you're dealing with duplicate information, paid accounts that still show an unpaid balance, or a collection account that keeps "resetting" the date of last activity, we can help. Correcting such problems can increase your credit score dramatically.

Studies show that most credit reports have inaccuracies. It is your right to demand accuracy on your credit reports, because inaccurate reporting falsely modifies your "risk" as seen by potential lenders or creditors. If your credit reports are inaccurate - and left that way - you could pay artificially higher interest rates on credit cards, your mortgage, vehicle loans, and more.

Get back on track: let Veracity help you find and understand the details that influence your credit score, good and bad. We'll help you create a strategy to increase your credit score and get the quality financing you need.
