And you're going to want to go to each of their websites, request your credit report. voice-verified
And then once you can look at those reports and see what the mistake is, on each of their websites, there's a procedure that you have to follow to ask for the report to be fixed. voice-verified
You're going to need certain documentation when you do that. voice-verified
And you can do it. voice-verified
There's a couple of ways you can do it. voice-verified
You can do it online, which is really the easiest thing because each website will walk you through how to make those fixes. voice-verified

It could be a mortgage provider. voice-verified

So it's not like it's going to be hanging over you forever. voice-verified
And then it does give you time to go back and say, no, this isn't right still, and to keep kind of going down that process. voice-verified
It really is because it can be a big problem. voice-verified
