What or Who Is "Online in SV"?

Online in SV is only how you might see the collection charge. The abbreviation is intended for the company, Online Information Services. They've been handling collections online since 1997 for:

• Utility providers
• Property managers
• Healthcare providers
• Mortgage lenders

and more. If you haven't paid a certain utility company in a while, or you've left your medical bills off your monthly payment list, then Online in SV may be coming after you. You can ask for written verification of the debt if you haven't yet received a letter or email to determine precisely who hired them and how much you owe.

You can contact the company via:

Additional Ways to Dispute Online in SV Charges

Rather than disputing anything directly with the company, you can do so easily through the credit bureaus. There are 3 you need to handle separately, as they each keep their own records and offer varying scores to make up your entire credit portfolio. Whether you're looking at the websites or you'll need to find their dispute center and get the process started.

TransUnion

You'll find the option to "Dispute Credit Report" under the "Products" header on the TransUnion website. You might want to dispute:

• Fraudulent charges
• Suspicious activity
• Multiple accounts for the same company

Experian

You'll find "Disputes" under the "Credit Support" header on the Experian website. Once you click it, you'll see 4 options:

1. Start - Use this to create an entirely new dispute using Experian's online form.
2. Sign In - Load up your account and check the status of former disputes already filed.
3. Get Instructions - If you desire a mailing process, be sure to follow the instructions and include all details.
4. View Results - Look at the results for prior mail or phone disputes handled by an investigator.

If you'd rather handle the task by mail, you'll need to download the appropriate forms and send everything through mail. You'll need to provide lots of information, including:

• Your full name
• Your birthday and social security number
• 2 year's worth of addresses
• A copy of a government ID
• A copy of a utility bill where the address on file matches your ID
• The inaccurate item on your report that you wish to dispute and why

Even if you send the initial paperwork through the mail, you can still use the online form to check on its status.

Equifax

You'll find a "Credit Report Help" header on the Equifax website. From there, you'll get an option to "dispute information on your Equifax credit report." They encourage you to contest anything that's inaccurate or incomplete. An investigator works to piece together the details and determine if you do in fact owe the listed amount to the creditor in question. It may take up to 30 days to see results. Check on its status online.
