If your credit report shows the wrong personal information, or has incorrect details of your debt, here’s what to do:

Step 1: If there is an error for the amount owing, contact the original creditor to try and make the correction.
Step 2: Contact the reporting agency, either TransUnion or Equifax, to ask that they fix the error.
Step 3: You have the option to enter a 100-word statement on your credit report to explain the error. Contact the reporting agency directly to submit your statement. This is included every time your credit report is accessed.
Step 4: If you have tried the above steps, and you have concerns about the accuracy of your personal information on your credit report, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for BC (OIPC) may be able to assist.
Make a complaint to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
