What do I include in a letter to a creditor?

The specific content of each letter will depend on the particular type of debt, the desired result, and how the credit bureau responded to the round one letter.

  • Client’s information: Remember, this letter (like all the other dispute letters) is coming from your client and should reflect their information, not yours as the credit repair company
  • Request: Be clear about what you are hoping the creditor will do (remove late payment, confirm loan amount, et al)
  • Reason: Include concise reasoning, facts (if relevant), and any information to support your request
