Review your reports

Read through your reports once you get them. Become familiar with the information contained in each. Using different color highlighters or pens, highlight what you need to repair:

  • Incorrect information, including accounts that aren’t yours, payments that have been incorrectly reported late, etc.
  • Past due accounts that are late, charged off, or have been sent to collections.
  • Maxed out accounts that are over the credit limit.
