Process to Remove Negative Items

Step 1: Freeze Credit Reports

• Freeze credit reports with five phantom bureaus.
• Freeze credit reports with the three main bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion).

Step 2: Dispute Negative Items

• Dispute all negative items on personal credit reports.
• Dispute items such as charge-offs, collections, and late payments.
• Bankruptcy and foreclosure may not be disputable, but try anyway.
• Dispute by physical letters or online (not recommended online).
• Dispute only with main bureaus, not phantom bureaus.
• Ensure disputes match with the correct bureau based on which has the item.

Important Points

• Do the freeze and dispute process simultaneously.
• Group disputes in one letter, as many as applicable.
• Ensure personal information is correct (name, SSN, phone numbers).
• Late payments can be updated to "never late" status.
• Avoid closing old accounts, keep good credit history.
• Use open revolving accounts to maintain credit score.

Building Good Credit

• Make timely payments on existing credit accounts.
• Use a habit of paying twice a month.
