According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, is there a grace period before agencies can report missed payments

What is considered unfair reporting. My child support reporting agency is reporting late payments each month to the credit agencies even though direct deposit are made on each payday. It take the support agency 7 to 14 days to post to my account, thus making it late each month. So, are they unfairly reporting the status of my account?

No. Fair credit reporting has more to do with how your credit report is used. Policies to report are set by individual companies that extend credti to you.

Do You Think That Credit Reporting Agencies?

Invade Your Privacy?
Even if you agree with a creditor to have your payment history reported to a credit agency, you never gave the agency permission to release your information to a 3rd party, don’t you think that is an invasion of your privacy?

No….but I think that their biggest fault is posting negative information on your credit files from bottom feeder debt collectors without informing you…in other words, you’re guilty until proven innocent.

Can I send a letter of proof of payment to the credit reporting agencies if the lender did not report payments

I bought a car with a 3 year finance term. I paid the car every month on time, and finally I have paid it off! My credit is poor, so I wanted to rebuild my credit this way. Unfortunately the dealership I bought from does report to the credit agencies if you have purchased a used car.

They did however, write a letter that states I paid every month in full, and on time until the car was paid for outright.

Can I send a copy of this to the agencies so that they may verify it and add it onto my report?

If anyone has any good answers for me please let me know!!

Thanks!

Yes, you can write the credit bureaus to add good credit accounts. And a copy of the account information will help.
