            ● Incorrect balances.


            ● Duplicate accounts.  This happens when charged-off accounts
              are  sold  to  other  companies  and  they  all  report  the  same
              amount.

            ● Late payments listed that you know were paid on time

            ● Wrong account ownership.  You are showing as the owner when
              you are only authorized

            ● Aged items.  Items that are supposed to fall off are still hanging
              around.

          If you find errors on your report, file a dispute with the credit report
          agency.  You can file your dispute by phone, mail or online.  The
          best way to do so however, is via mail.  This method is longer but
          gives  you  the  best  options,  especially  for  record-keeping.
          Additionally, when you dispute online, the bureaus want you to
          register and you become a target for their other services via your
          email.

          Use the following information to file your dispute for each bureau:
