billyd Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Been a while, but was able to dispute online a few years ago to see my credit report and don't remember needing an e-mail address. I just enter my details and go from there. Now it is requiring me to credit an account with an email? Is this required now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centex Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Outside of a very few specific items, online disputes are simply not the way to go. There ARE backdoors that don't require registration for an account. They still exist if one has been denied credit or had other adverse action in the past 60 or so days. And Innovis gives a paper report to anyone who can dial a phone...and yes, some of the major issuers ARE using IDS now. hegemony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point IF the dispute isn’t legit. Still nice to get the reports without any hassles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legaleagle2012 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Providing them an email constitutes permission for them to send you information that might be seen by third parties, IE anyone who has access to your email, you forget to close the screeen and somebody sees it, etc. There was a big case about this years ago involving Ford Credit.
