What to Include With Your Mailed Dispute

Bureaus can delay or reject disputes that arrive incomplete. Include all of the following:

📄

Your signed dispute letter (FCRA-cited, specific account)

🪪

Copy of a government-issued ID (driver's license or passport)

🏠

Proof of current address (utility bill, bank statement)

📑

Copy of the relevant section of your credit report (highlight the error)

📎

Supporting documents (bank statements, payment receipts, FTC report if identity theft)

Always send copies — never originals. Bureaus are not required to return documents you mail them.

Certified Mail: Why It Matters

The FCRA's 30-day investigation clock starts when the bureau receives your dispute — not when you send it. Certified mail with return receipt gives you:

Cost: roughly $3.85–$5.00 at USPS for certified mail + return receipt. Worth it for any significant dispute.

Online vs. Mail Dispute: Which to Use?

Online disputes are faster but come with trade-offs:

For minor errors (wrong phone number, address typo): online is fine. For anything that materially affects your credit: use certified mail.

Disputing to the Furnisher (Creditor/Collector)

In addition to the credit bureaus, you should often dispute directly with the company that reported the information — called the "furnisher." Under FCRA §623, furnishers must investigate disputes sent directly to them and correct any inaccuracies with the bureaus.

Find the furnisher's dispute address on your credit report, on your statements, or by calling their customer service. For collection agencies, the address is usually on any collection notice they've sent you.

Don't want to deal with the envelope?

Generate your dispute letter, and we'll send it certified mail to the right bureau on your behalf. $10 per letter — includes the letter, certified mailing, and delivery confirmation by email.

CFPB Complaint: When to Escalate

If a bureau fails to investigate within 30 days, ignores your dispute, or continues reporting information you've proven is inaccurate, file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at consumerfinance.gov/complaint. Bureaus take CFPB complaints seriously — unresolved complaints affect their regulatory standing. You can also file with the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint.
