Are items such as bankruptcies and foreclosures impossible to remove or correct?
To see how many questionable bankruptcies we removed or corrected during the last quarter please refer to our stats.* There is not one type of questionable listing that cannot be removed from a credit report if it is inaccurate, untimely, misleading, biased, incomplete or unverifiable (in our work, we refer to such items as “questionable”). While negative items such as bankruptcies or unpaid debts are more difficult to remove from the credit report, this has more to do with the operational systems of the credit bureaus than with the severity of the bad credit item. For example, judgments and tax liens are severely negative listings yet, in Lexington’s experience, clients have had more success getting them removed than other types of listings. Whether a questionable item can be corrected or removed has little to do with its severity alone.
