Mismerging Credit Reports

Mismerging credit reports is more common that you may think. This occurs when one person’s information is erroneously placed in the file of another person, altering the accuracy of both files.

There are various reasons in which credit reports may become mismerged. Most often, it is because of a simple administrative or technological error occurring when two names are very similar, or when two Social Security Numbers share many of the same digits. Additionally, database errors may contribute to mixed or mismerged files.

If you believe your credit score is inaccurate, you may want to consider working with a consumer protection attorney to determine the best way to proceed. You may not have to suffer with a bad credit score. Your credit problems may be a result of your credit bureau’s mistake.
