How would I request personal inforation to be updated, or should I say old info deleted and the current information to be REMOVED??

Like old addresses, AKA's, and Current/past employers.

Thanks for any info.

I have read on other boards that when you opt out of the pre-scree list you can change old addressed and such? Is that true?

I am not sure, but I can tell you that past addresses and past employment is part of your report, I am not sure that it can be removed. Why would you be concerned about this part anyway??? just curious, most people just care about the debts and reporting information dealing with debt, not address and employment.

I have read elsewhere that old addresses are sometimes used as the first means of validating an account. No address match = better chance of removal.

I just had a whole slew removed from experian.

Also had some WRONG SSN there and name spellings.

I want it as clean as possible.

Hi Adam
You can clean any wrong information in your credit report by just sending a dispute letter to the bureaus. There are sample letters in this forum itself. If you want to get a sample letter, visit the link letters of credit

I have a debt, on my credit, from a furniture store that went out of business some years ago. However..the debt still shows on my CR. I DO know I owe the money to them..however..who do I pay if the furniture store is no longer there?
