What Should I Look Out for In My CenturyLink Credit Dispute?

If you believe that the information on your credit report is not accurate, you can file a credit dispute and the things to look out for in a credit dispute are:

  1. Personal Information - The information includes your name, social security number, address, employment details that uniquely identify you.
  2. Account Details - Check your CenturyLink account details, including account number, address attached to the account, and payments made.
  3. Credit Inquiries - Here, you can find any entity that has requested your credit records and if you have any suspicious activity, you can reach out to the credit bureaus for further action.
  4. Public Records - You want to scrutinize this section to confirm whether the CenturyLink debt in question has been listed on your report and whether the records associated with it are accurate. If the information provided is not accurate, then this gives good ground to file the dispute.

Strategies to Successfully Dispute Your Credit Report

You can employ any of these strategies to help you win your credit dispute and have negative information removed from your report.

  • Submit a dispute with the credit bureau
  • Under the FCRA, you have a right to dispute inaccurate records on your report and have them removed if the bureau cannot verify or correct them.
  • Send a dispute claim with CenturyLink
  • You can also submit a dispute with CenturyLink as it is the company that reported the alleged outstanding debt to the bureau.
  • Send a pay-to-delete letter
  • This is a negotiation letter that you can send to your creditor requesting that you be allowed to make partial payment in exchange for having the negative information removed from your report.
  • Saturation technique - It's a strategy you can employ to help you pass your goodwill letter to as many right hands as possible. A quick search should give you addresses to your target organization that you can use to send the letters. Take note of any different addresses and names of people in your replies. Send more letters to these addresses and keep at it until your request is granted.

Employing any of these strategies takes time and patience, especially if you need credit urgently. If you feel that this is too much legwork, use DoNotPay. Our unique approach utilizes all the strategies mentioned above to increase your chances of getting a clean report.
