When to write a letter directly to a creditor

If the first round of dispute letters come back with items that were verified by the credit bureaus, your client may want to challenge the validation. You will need to discuss which items they want to dispute, and then contact each creditor on behalf of your client.

What do I include in a letter to a creditor?

The specific content of each letter will depend on the particular type of debt, the desired result, and how the credit bureau responded to the round one letter.

Client’s information: Remember, this letter (like all the other dispute letters) is coming from your client and should reflect their information, not yours as the credit repair company
Request: Be clear about what you are hoping the creditor will do (remove late payment, confirm loan amount, et al)
Reason: Include concise reasoning, facts (if relevant), and any information to support your request
