Despite the misleading name, 609 is not exactly a dispute; rather, it's a letter/document requesting that the credit bureaus give you information regarding the accuracy of your credit report.
A 623 dispute letter is a written communication submitted to a credit bureau, typically by a consumer, to dispute inaccuracies or discrepancies in their credit report.
The letter requests an investigation into the disputed information under Section 623 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), aiming to correct errors and ensure the accuracy of the credit report. This process allows individuals to address and rectify any inaccuracies that may impact their creditworthiness.

A credit report includes a section on the basic identification information of an individual, including the name, physical location, employment, date of birth, and Social Security number. The report may include a list of previous addresses, places of employment, and any misspellings of the name.
Your letter should clearly identify each item in your report you dispute, state the facts, explain why you dispute the information, and request that it be removed or corrected. You may want to enclose a copy of your credit report with the items in question circled.
While 609 letters can be a helpful step in the credit repair process, they aren't a magic solution. They won't guarantee that items are removed, but they can help you gather the evidence you need to address errors and improve your credit report.
