How to Report Info to the Credit Bureau

Credit bureaus collect information about consumers regarding their credit history, personal information, such as contact information, and places they lived and worked, and even job history. Reporting to the credit unions allow consumers and businesses to give information to the credit bureau that the bureau needs to help calculate your credit score. If your information has changed due to moving, a new job, or your contact information has changed, it is vital to update the credit bureaus of this information so that they have the correct information on file, and can contact you if necessary.

Instructions

Document the change in information before you submit it to the company. Write down all changes so that you know that you have given them all the details necessary and keep track of when you attempted to contact the credit bureaus. This will let you keep track of whom you have contacted and the reason you contacted them.
