When Mailing Makes Sense

  • You want proof of delivery and a dated paper trail you control.
  • You need to attach supporting documents the online portal won't accept.
  • You are disputing the same item again after an earlier response.
  • You are requesting the method of verification after an item was marked verified.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Sending originals instead of copies of your documentation.
  • Disputing several unrelated items in one vague paragraph instead of listing each item separately.
  • Leaving out proof of identity and address, which can lead to the dispute being returned as unprocessable.
  • Mailing to a general Experian corporate address instead of the consumer dispute address listed above.
  • Not keeping a copy of what you sent and the certified mail receipt.
