Correcting personal info w/Experian

[nitro69]

I am currently a newbe to the site which so far I am learning alot. I pulled my credit report from Experian and found alot of wrong personal information. When correcting online with Experian about old address the site comes back with a statement " The address inquestion was reported by creditors or potential creditors or obtained from public records. If incorrect you may want to contact the source of the information directly." When I ck the info on credit report, the address is not related. The question is what do I do next ?????? Do I send a letter to Experian ? What do I say ? Thanks for any help.

Experian is the toughest in deleting addys. So don't beat yourself up too bad if you can't get them all off.
What I have done in the past....is call up EX to dispute personal info. If you get a CSR that's not a jerk (it is possible).....then tell them what addys (or name variations, phone number, employment info, etc) you wish to dispute.......just say you never lived there. They will tell you if it is possible to dispute it. If a TL is tied to it (negative OR positive) they will tell you that you can't dispute it.......and they should be able to tell you which TL it's tied to.

Even if you can't get it removed......at least then you know why.
If you know that the address should not be tied to the TL, you can try contacting the company reporting the TL to have them correct or update the address that they have on file......then you should be able to dispute it off.
