Dispute your TransUnion credit report by mail

TransUnion credit report dispute

If something on your TransUnion credit report is wrong or incomplete, this page helps you send a clear dispute letter to the current mailing address. You get a TransUnion-specific template, a checklist of what to include, and the extra details that matter for mailed disputes like the file number field and personal-information documents.

Use this page for real mistakes on your TransUnion report, like an account that is not yours, a wrong late-payment mark, a duplicate debt, incorrect personal information, or an inaccurate public record entry. It is not for asking TransUnion to remove negative information that is actually correct. It is also useful if you searched for TransUnion dispute address, TransUnion dispute by mail, mail dispute to TransUnion, TransUnion dispute letter template, or TransUnion P.O. Box 2000 Chester PA.

Short lines that fit common TransUnion disputes

  • • This account is not mine and does not belong in my TransUnion file.
  • • This payment history is inaccurate. I paid on time, and I attached proof.
  • • This account was paid in full and should not show an unpaid balance.
  • • This personal information is incorrect and should be updated to match my identification documents.
  • • This public record entry is inaccurate. I attached court records showing the correct status.

Before you continue

  • • Send copies, not originals, and keep a full copy of everything you mail.
  • • Include your full name, date of birth, Social Security number, current address, previous address if relevant, phone number, and your TransUnion file number (FIN) if it appears on your report.
  • • Add a copy of your ID, proof of address, a copy of your TransUnion credit report with the disputed items marked, and copies of any documents that support your dispute.
  • • List each disputed item separately with the company name, account number, what is wrong, what should be corrected, and which documents prove your point.
  • • If you are correcting your name, date of birth, Social Security number, or address, include supporting documents for that change. TransUnion says mailed address updates should include two documents showing the new address.
  • • TransUnion says it accepts either standard or certified mail. Certified mail is still useful if you want proof of delivery.

How it works

1Open the template and replace the placeholders with your own identifying details, including your TransUnion file number if you have it.

3Mail the letter to TransUnion Consumer Solutions, keep copies of everything you sent, and consider sending the same dispute to the lender or other company that reported the information.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I send my TransUnion dispute letter?

Mail it to TransUnion Consumer Solutions, P.O. Box 2000, Chester, PA 19016-2000. That is the mailing address listed on TransUnion's current dispute-by-mail instructions.

What should I attach to the letter?

Include your identifying details, your TransUnion file number if you have it, a copy of your ID, proof of address, a copy of your credit report with the disputed items marked, and copies of the documents that support each dispute.

Do I need my TransUnion file number?

No, but it helps. TransUnion's own investigation form includes a file number field, so it is worth adding if it appears on your credit report or paperwork.

What if I am disputing personal information like my name or address?

If you are correcting your name, date of birth, or Social Security number, TransUnion says to send supporting documents such as a driver's license, birth certificate, Social Security card, or court order. For a mailed address update, it says to send two documents that show the new address.

Should I send original documents?

No. Send copies only, keep the originals, and keep a copy of the full package for your own records.

How long does TransUnion take to respond?

TransUnion's investigation form says results are usually mailed within 30 days after it receives your request and to allow another 3 to 5 business days for delivery. A separate TransUnion support page says some disputes can take up to 30 to 45 days.

Does TransUnion charge for this?

No. TransUnion says disputes are free.

Can I do this online instead?

Yes. TransUnion also offers online and phone disputes, and online is often faster. This page is for people who want a paper trail or want to send supporting documents together in one packet.

What if TransUnion says the item was already verified or I still disagree?

You can contact the lender, collector, court source, or other company that reported the information, send another dispute with stronger documents, or add a brief statement of up to 100 words to your TransUnion file.

Why do some TransUnion documents show a different ZIP code?

Some older TransUnion PDFs still show Chester, PA 19022-2000. The current live dispute instructions and related TransUnion support pages list Chester, PA 19016-2000, so that is the address this page uses.
