Very important to check your credit report for errors. At annualcreditreport.com you can get a free credit report from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion once every 12 months. If you find errors, the next step is to send by certified mail a written dispute letter to all three of the credit reporting agencies. If the errors are not corrected, you may be entitled to money damages. Contact Pine Street Legal to fight for the justice you deserve.
