A. On your behalf, a hired third party can request that a credit reporting agency remove inaccurate, erroneous, or obsolete information from your credit report which can only be obtained by you directly from the three main credit reporting agencies. Second-hand information, such as that obtained from a merchant, is not considered a report directly obtained from one of the three main credit reporting agencies.
