There is little worse for your buying power than poor credit as reported by the credit bureaus. The negativity on your credit report can essentially affect your way of life, what you buy, how you live, and even where you work. If you are looking to improve your credit score as a means to improving your entire quality of life you may be interested in writing a letter to the credit bureaus to have discrepancies removed for your credit report.
The first step in assessing whether it will be necessary to have anything removed for your credit report would be to request a copy of your credit report from each of the bureaus. There are 3 main bureaus you’d like to contact:

Equifax â€" P.O. Box 740241
Atlanta, GA 30374
1-800-685-1111
TransUnion â€" P.O. Box 1000
Chester, PA 19022
1-800-888-4213

It is really important to obtain your credit report from all three bureaus as they don’t necessarily contain the same information regarding credit history or credit score. Be sure to be as thorough as possible when examining your credit. Look back as far as you are able into your history and be sure that all I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed. The slightest error on your credit report can affect your credit standing and score in ways that can be highly detrimental to you as a consumer. Check to be sure that there are no mistakes that need to be rectified or removed. Some of these mistakes include, but are not limited to:
* Incorrect personal information
* Inaccurate payment history (such as late payment or missed payment inaccuracies)
* Outdated information
* Open accounts that should be closed
* Accounts that have been sent to collections for unmerited reasons
* Inaccurately documented accounts
If any of these items appear on your report it is essential that you write the bureau to have the inaccuracies removed. This is when things can get a little tricky. Most people are clueless or intimidated when addressing credit bureaus through written letters. The task can seem overwhelming, to say the least.
