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.
There are definitely advantages to disputing with the credit bureau online. It's easier to hop online and send in a dispute to the credit bureaus. You don't have to wait in the long post office lines.
