623 Credit Dispute Letter (Direct to Furnisher)
A 623 credit dispute letter allows you to bypass the credit bureaus and dispute an inaccuracy directly with the data furnisher (the original creditor or collection agency) under FCRA Section 623. This is often the best credit dispute letter to use if a bureau investigation fails to correct a clear error, as it forces the furnisher to conduct their own reasonable investigation.
