If the Bureau's don't add a simple sentence to your credit
[2]
report, they have to delete the disputed account. And today, I'm
[6]
going to show you what that sentence is, why it works and
[10]
how to use it with your own accounts. I'm also going to show
[12]
you an easy trick for collection accounts to increase the chance
[16]
of a violation, you're also going to get four different
[19]
methods to use. So stay to the end of the video to see how to
[22]
get the maximum results from this tactic, and a breakdown of
[25]
each of them. What's going on, my name is Kristen, and welcome
[29]
to another video. If this is your first time here and want to
[32]
learn more about fixing your credit, increasing your scores
[35]
and getting results with a credit sweep, start now by
[38]
subscribing and hitting the bell so you don't miss anything. Now,
[42]
the first thing we're doing is checking out these two laws
[45]
buried in hundreds of pages of mumbo jumbo that make this whole
[49]
tactic work. We're using FCRA, section 623, a three, an FDCPA,
[56]
section 8078. And both of them see the same thing. If a
[60]
consumer disputes an account that needs to be marked as
[64]
disputed on the credit report, otherwise, it's a violation. So
[68]
the sentence that needs to be added to a credit report says
[71]
disputed by consumer or something similar, you're
[74]
actually gonna see this in the comment section of an account.
[76]
Now, let's be honest about this. Just because the laws say they
[81]
need to put this notice on my account, the truth is 90% of the
[84]
time, a collector is not going to add the sentence and the
[87]
majority of the time, the credit bureaus won't either. If they
[90]
do, it's not going to be within 30 days, right. So you're likely
[94]
to see added on like round two or 60 days, but it doesn't
[98]
matter. Their timeline was by the 30th day after they received
[103]
your first dispute, we're going to prove they didn't do it by
[106]
sending certified letters and give them the choice of either
[109]
liability to you for damages up to $1,000 per occurrence or
[115]
deletion of that account. The key here is chain of custody,
[120]
the more people are involved, the more likely they'll be a
[122]
mistake, because there's so many people in the mix, right? Here's
[126]
what do you mean, you contact the collector, and they have to
[129]
contact the Bureau's and the Bureau's have to act in time.
[132]
you contact the collector and they have to contact the
[135]
Bureau's and it's the same thing. So here's a simple
[138]
explanation of why this works. And then I'm going to give you
[142]
two example letters and four methods. So at the beginning of
[146]
the video, I said that just because there's a lot, it
[150]
doesn't mean they'll comply, right? This goes for any FCRA or
[154]
FDCPA. Law and violated all the time. Because this isn't
[158]
criminal law, it means we need to do something about the
[161]
violation to get what we want, in this situation right are
[164]
going to give them the option of paying you or easily getting rid
[169]
of you by deleting that account. Hit the Like if you've ever
[173]
heard someone use that sales gimmick to sign you up for
[175]
credit repair services, because now you know the truth they want
[180]
to pay you remember, their job is to get you get rid of you as
[185]
fast as possible and as cheaply as possible, which is why they
[188]
verify without an investigation and ignore so many millions of
[192]
consumers every single day. They don't want a press release that
[195]
lets millions of other consumers know how easily you did this.
[199]
All they have to do is get an employee to remove this from the
[203]
database and you go away. The way this works is to use the
[207]
validation of debt letters for collections and to send them
[212]
certified. So you can see a copy of letter one on your screen
[215]
right now. 30 days after the receipt of this, they need to
[218]
mark the account as disputed or it's a violation, your letter to
[223]
the credit bureaus will be a factual dispute. And again, they
[226]
have to mark the account as disputed within 30 days. In the
[230]
event that you file a small claims you win because you're
[233]
not there to argue whether account is valid belongs to you
[236]
has a credit balance or anything else. It's only to prove that
[240]
they're required notice the dispute was not earned within 30
[244]
days of the date they received your first dispute in your
[247]
certified mail receipt. First and Second credit reports prove
[250]
this End of story. Now here are four methods. So method one is
[256]
to dispute with the collectors first, they're significantly
[260]
less likely to enter the notice. So if they count is still there,
[263]
you can continue with the validation of that method or
[266]
file against them for failure to notify. Right. So method number
[269]
two is if you have collections, you can first dispute with the
[273]
collectors and then on room to dispute with the Bureau's in
[276]
addition to the collectors, and you can either catch both of
[279]
them for violations and file against them or move on to
[283]
factual disputes. Method three is to do bureau only disputes.
[289]
So you're either going to file against them for failure to
[291]
notify after round one or two or keep the violation in your back
[296]
pocket to take them to court if the factual disputes do not
[298]
work. And lastly, Do nothing for the squeaky wheel. This is where
[303]
you're doing collector and bureau disputes, beginning
[307]
around one validation of debt and factual disputes. Notice
[311]
intent to sue plus CFPB BBB ag complaints and lastly file
[316]
against both. So to recap, when you send a dispute that account
[320]
needs to be marked as disputed within 30 days, and you can
[322]
easily remove an account in violation using the methods we
[326]
just went over. If you'd like to learn more about using these
[330]
