How Mistakes Are Made

When a credit report contains errors, it is often because the report is incomplete, or contains information about someone else. This typically happens because:

• The person applied for credit under different names (Robert Jones, Bob Jones, etc.).
• Someone made a clerical error in reading or entering name or address information from a hand-written application.
• The person gave an inaccurate Social Security number, or the number was misread by the lender.
• Loan or credit card payments were inadvertently applied to the wrong account.
