Judgments appear on your credit report
after an extensive effort by a lender to recover a debt you owe that has
gone delinquent for whatever reason. After taking the case to court, a
judge will place the judgment on the defendant's credit record. Most
people have no idea how to defend themselves against the expert credit
lawyers that the lenders will send to court, and find themselves with a
demolished credit score.But
there is hope. The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives consumers the ability
to dispute items on their credit reports that they feel are inaccurate,
misleading, unverifiable, or even biased. If the credit bureaus find the
case to be non-frivolous (which can be more difficult to accomplish than
you'd think), then they will open up an investigation with the original
creditor.
Because the bureaus do not check the
accuracy of items when they are originally reported by the creditors,
the only way a person can truly know if their reports are true
depictions of their credit risk is if they dispute the items, and are
successful in getting the bureaus to investigate with the creditors.
A 2004 U.S. PIRG Report discovered that
79% of credit reports have errors on them. It's no wonder that credit
restoration companies are able to help their clients remove hundred of
thousands of collections. Click to see the results for
