The Dispute Credit Report Letter is a crucial document in the Nigerian credit reporting ecosystem, designed to protect consumers' rights to accurate credit information. This document becomes necessary when an individual identifies incorrect, outdated, or unauthorized information in their credit report. Under Nigerian law, particularly the Credit Reporting Act 2017, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information and request corrections within a specified timeframe. The letter must include specific details about the disputed information, supporting documentation, and clear requests for correction. Credit bureaus are required to investigate disputes within 10 working days of receipt. This document type is particularly important in Nigeria's growing consumer credit market, where accurate credit information is essential for access to financial services.
