What recourse do you have if Experian entered inaccurate information on your credit report?

Your first step is to dispute it with Experian. There's a form or online page they will provide and it really shoudln't be done over the phone. You want documentation. If you have documentation that proves the information incorrect, send copies to them. If not, they must stop reporting the information until they verify it as true. If they can't, they have to remove it. This is covered under the Federal law known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act. If you follow all the right steps and still have trouble, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, which oversees the credit bureaus.

You can try writing letters along with proof that the debt has been paid. Send copies to the credit reporting agencies, asking them to remove the information.

How regularly does the credit history of a person update?

wonders how to explain this*There is no procedure that automatically updates a consumer's credit file. A consumers' credit file is established by creditor/members reporting information on that person to the bureaus. Each subscribing member has their own reporting policies. For the vast majority, this is done via computer tapes on a monthly basis. But there are many creditors who report only sporatically and still others who never report. Credit reporting is a voluntary activity. There is no law which requires or compels the updating of credit information.
