Common questions

Credit Report FAQs

Answers about credit reports, errors, and the review process.
How Often Should I Check My Credit Report?

You are entitled to one free report from each bureau annually through AnnualCreditReport.com. We recommend checking at least once per year, or more frequently if you are actively working on credit improvement.

What Are Common Credit Report Errors?

Common errors include incorrect personal information, accounts that do not belong to you, duplicate accounts, incorrect payment statuses, outdated negative items, and inaccurate balances or credit limits.

How Long Do Negative Items Stay on My Report?

Most negative items remain for 7 years from the date of first delinquency. Bankruptcies may stay for 7-10 years depending on the chapter. Positive information can remain indefinitely.

Can You Help Me Dispute Errors?

Yes. Your counselor walks you through the dispute process, helps draft dispute letters, and advises on supporting documentation to submit to credit bureaus.

Is Credit Report Review Counseling Free?

Yes. Our credit report review counseling is provided at no cost through our nonprofit mission. We help you understand your report and take action.

What Is the Difference Between a Credit Report and Credit Score?

Your credit report is a detailed history of your credit accounts, payments, and inquiries. Your credit score is a three-digit number calculated from that report. Your counselor helps you understand both and how they work together.
