All you need to repair your own credit is a copy of your credit report and a dispute letter template. That’s the truth; that is your whole FREE credit repair kit! You can do your own credit repair all by yourself and it is completely FREE. In fact, that’s what Uncle Same recommends you do. would you want to throw down hundreds or even thousands of dollars paying a credit repair company to do what you areperfectly competent to do for yourself?
Everyone can get a free copy of their credit report every year, as explained by the FTC’s website:
-
Each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — is required to provide you with a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months, if you ask for it. The three companies have a central website, a toll-free telephone number, and a mailing address for consumers to order the free annual credit reports the government entitles them to. To order, click on annualcreditreport.com, call 1-877-322-8228, or complete the Annual Credit Report Request Form and mail it to:
Annual Credit Report Request Service
P.O. Box 105281
Atlanta, GA 30348-5281

This .gov site also provides you with a sample dispute letter you can copy to dispute items on your credit report. Simply adjust that letter to the dispute you want to make, address it to the correct reporting company (Equifax, Experian, and/or TransUnion), and send your letter(s) out.
Of course there are many, many other dispute letter templates available online. Judging from the ones I have reviewed, they all say pretty much the same thing and any of them will do the job. You can certainly search around to find a sample letter you like and use it, but the one on the FTC’s site will work just as well. The site basically provides you with a free credit repair kit you can use to repair your credit all on your own. The only cost will be the printing and stamping of the letters, plus whatever time you have to spend doing it. The nutshell version, though, is that repairing your own credit will save you gobs of dollars as compared to paying a credit repair company to do it for you.
