Report Errors
Credit reports often have errors whether it is due to incomplete or outdated information or someone stealing your identity. Errors seem to be more prevalent on credit reports for those who have had prior problems with their credit. It is important to review your credit reports to ensure all the information is accurate. A credit error could be causing a low score whether you are aware.
