How documentation supports a dispute
A dispute is stronger when it is specific. Documentation helps you explain what you believe is wrong and why.
Examples of useful documentation
- Account statements showing balances or closure dates
- Correspondence with a furnisher
- Identity or address records when personal information looks wrong
- Police or FTC identity-theft materials when applicable (use official channels)
What documentation is not
Paperwork does not guarantee deletion or a score increase. It supports clearer consumer-controlled communication.
