A paid in full letter is a written statement from your lender that you've satisfied your debt. Unfortunately, the collections record may still show on your credit report (crushing your score). What can you do? It's your right to dispute these inaccurate claims — something an expert like Credit Glory can help with!

What is a paid in full letter? (& why they're good news)

A paid in full is a letter from your creditor stating that your debt is fully settled.  However, creditors are sneaky, and sometimes the collections account stays on your credit report after you've paid in full.

What if my collections account is still showing on my credit report after I have a paid in full letter?

If you have your paid in full letter in hand — and the collections record is still showing on your credit report — you're in luck. This letter allows you to dispute the inaccurate collection record and save your score. How can you dispute? You can dispute on your own, but when you team up with an expert (like Credit Glory), the process is a breeze.  

How to dispute any inaccurate item on your report (& how a pro can help)

Here's how you can dispute inaccurate items on your own (& why it's no cakewalk):

Step 1: Check your credit report for inaccurate items

Disputing negative items starts with identifying inaccurate reporting. Wondering how to find errors? Look at the detailed info for negative items from all 3 credit reports. Sound like too much work? An expert like Credit Glory quickly finds mistakes, making the process a breeze.

Step 2: Write a dispute letter

There are several options for drafting a dispute letter. You can start from scratch — or find a template online. The tricky part is finding a legit template — especially when Google gives over 74 million search results! On the other hand, a partner like Credit Glory handles this for you, removing the headache.

Step 3: Collect supporting docs

If you can find a legit sample letter, you need to clearly state your name, address, and what you are disputing. Then collect all relevant documents to support your claim. The catch? Make sure you send copies — not originals. Optionally, Credit Glory makes this easier, knowing exactly what to send (& where to send it).

Step 4: Wait for a decision

If you manage to write a letter, compile the documents, and find out where to send your letter — the last step is waiting for results. Assuming you did everything perfectly, the dispute results are sent to you in writing. The result? After a long wait — sometimes months — the record may be removed. If you let Credit Glory help, you have access to support throughout the whole dispute process.
