Do you have errors on your Credit Report?

Credit Report Errors

According to an article posted by The Sacramento Bee, in a survey of 197 people, 49 of them were kept from getting a home, bank account or job due to mistakes on their credit report. The article also states that by Experian’s own admission, that 50 percent of all credit reports contain errors. Although these errors may not lead to disqualification, they may result in increased interest rates and higher payments.

On average, there is a 2% difference in interest rates between a person with good credit, and one with credit that meets the minimum requirements when applying for a home mortgage. On a $200,000 home, that’s around an additional $370 a month. Whether you believe your credit report is accurate or not, properly monitoring your credit report can save you thousands in the long run.

    Credit report matters the most while applying for a loan or a job or even a new credit card. Thus, it is important to check credit reports at regular intervals. While checking reports, if one finds incorrect listings or inaccurate information, he should repair credit score by filing a dispute with the credit bureaus.
