Describe the exact reported item.

Current CFPB workflow

Dispute the specific reported item

Current CFPB guidance says consumers can dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in a credit report. The dispute should identify the specific item, explain what the consumer believes is wrong and include copies of records that support the stated facts.

Reconcile the underlying rental account first

If the disputed credit-report balance came from a landlord or property-manager ledger, rebuild the original charges, payments, credits and deposit accounting before describing the reporting error.

Reporting company and furnisher are separate layers

CFPB guidance recommends disputing inaccurate information with the credit reporting company and also with the company that furnished the information. A separate debt-validation request may be relevant when a covered third-party collector is contacting you, but that is a different workflow.
