To correct mistakes in your report, contact the credit bureau and the business that reported the inaccurate information. Tell them you want to dispute that information on your report.
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.
If you suspect a collection is fraudulent, you should report the fraud at identitytheft and then file a dispute. If the agency verifies that disputed information is accurate, it may continue to report that information.

2) What is the 609 loophole? The “609 loophole” is a misconception. Section 609 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows consumers to request their credit file information. It does not guarantee the removal of negative items but requires credit bureaus to verify the accuracy of disputed information.
You can dispute the item with the credit bureaus, and/or creditors or debt collectors, and they'll make a decision as to whether to remove it. You can do this on your own, or with the help of a credit repair professional (including possibly an attorney).
If a negative item is innacurate, incomplete, non verifiable or out of date, you have the right to have it removed. You can dispute the item with the credit bureaus, and/or creditors or debt collectors, and they'll make a decision as to whether to remove it.
What to Include in a 609 Dispute Letter Personal information. Ensure you provide clear and accurate personal details to identify yourself. Credit bureau details. Date. Subject line. Introduction. List of disputed items. Supporting documentation. Request for action.
Your letter should identify each item you dispute, state the facts, explain why you dispute the information, and ask that the business that supplied the information take action to have it removed or corrected. You may want to enclose a copy of your report with the item(s) in question circled.
