Methodology / Step-by-Step Framework

Obtain and Review Credit Report
- Use MyFreeScoreNow for the most accurate and detailed credit report (cost: $29/month or $1 for 7-day trial).
- Identify all negative items such as collections, late payments, charge-offs, public records, inquiries, etc.
Identify Inaccuracies in Negative Items
- Look for inconsistencies across the three CRAs (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax), including:
  - Closed accounts reported as open
  - Payment history discrepancies (on-time payments reported late or vice versa)
  - Different dates for account opened, last payment, last activity, or high credit limits
- Note that over 80% of negative items may contain inaccuracies.
Leverage Consumer Protection Laws
- 15 USC 1681e(b): CRAs must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum accuracy.
- 15 USC 1681i(a): If disputed information is inaccurate or unverifiable, it must be deleted or corrected promptly.
- These laws provide the legal basis to demand removal or correction of inaccurate items.
Use ChatGPT to Generate Dispute Letters
- Provide ChatGPT with detailed prompts including:
  - Account name and number (e.g., Capital One, account #12345xxxxx)
  - Reference to the above laws
  - Specific inaccuracies identified
  - A demand for removal or correction within 30-45 days
  - A statement threatening litigation for $1,000 damages per inaccuracy if ignored
- The video provides an example prompt to ensure a thorough, legally grounded letter.
- ChatGPT replaces costly, generic templates with customized, precise letters.
Prepare and Send Dispute Letters
- Attach the following with the dispute letter:
  - Proof of identity (driver’s license, state ID, or passport)
  - Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, phone bill)
  - Highlighted documentation of identified inaccuracies
- Use Postelocity to mail letters efficiently without visiting the post office:
  - Upload PDF of the letter
  - Enter recipient CRA mailing address manually or via system
  - Review digital proof and send with payment (approx. $1.50 to $2.50 per letter)

Key Numbers and Timelines

$29/month or $1 for 7-day trial for MyFreeScoreNow credit monitoring
30-45 days is the legally specified timeframe for CRAs to respond to disputes
$1,000 in potential damages per inaccuracy if litigation is pursued (used as a threat to pressure CRAs)
Mailing cost per letter: approx. $1.50 - $2.50 via Postelocity

Recommendations and Cautions

Avoid using Experian or Credit Karma apps for credit monitoring if actively restoring credit due to less accuracy.
Always include proof of ID, proof of address, and clearly highlight inaccuracies in your dispute letters to avoid rejection.
Use the threat of litigation in letters to expedite CRA responses, even if you do not intend to pursue court action.
Use detailed prompts with ChatGPT for best results; vague prompts yield poor letters.
Mailing letters via services like Postelocity is recommended for convenience and professionalism.
This process is intended for personal credit repair, not investment advice.
