Insider Etiquette: How To Stay in the Credit Bureau's Good Graces
Several of the credit bureaus have opened up their fax lines, (namely, Equifax and Transunion) but only to select consumersonly those a recent "confirmation number" or tracking number from a current credit report. In our ebook "
Improve Your Credit Score In 24 Hours" we give you the fax numbers that credit bureaus keep secret. Since January 2003, we've sold 30,000 copies-this tremendous success has led to a high volume of unsolicited faxes from consumers, enough so that they have tightened their rules.
If you are in possession of a credit bureau fax number, either from us or from communication with a credit bureau, we'll outline the proper fax methods for you.
The ABCs of Faxing Your Way to Better Credit:
·Absolutely never send unsolicited faxes. You must include a confirmation number from a current credit report to fax the credit bureau.
·You only need to fax the credit bureau to get them something that you couldn't get them by phone or mail: usually a "deletion" or "collection paid" letter, clearing you of a bad credit item.
·Be sure to include required identification information. For Equifax for instance ID should include a photocopy of your driver's license and a copy of your social security card or a current utility bill.
·Always include your confirmation number. Comply with credit bureau faxing protocol by including a confirmation or tracking number from your current credit report.
By knowing when and how to fax the credit bureau, you can coordinate a quicker result when bettering your credit.
