📬 How to Send Your Letter (This Step Matters)
📮
Use Certified Mail
Always send via USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt (green card). This creates a dated, legally-admissible paper trail proving the bureau received your letter.
📎
Attach Copies, Never Originals
Enclose photocopies of your ID, utility bill, and any supporting documents. Never send originals — they may not be returned.
📁
Keep a Copy of Everything
Make a copy of your letter and all enclosures before mailing. Keep the certified mail receipt and the green return card when it arrives.
⏱️
Follow Up After 35 Days
Bureaus have 30 days to investigate from receipt. Wait 35 days then pull your credit report to confirm the change. If no action, you can escalate to the CFPB at consumerfinance.gov.
