    Has anyone had this done? I'm just curious if it works or not?

    Thank you in advance.

    I had it done last year when I bought my home.

    There were several pieces of information on my credit report that were inaccurate (I know...shocking). I supplied doc's to my loan officer that proved the inaccuracies and they were updated within, I think, 48 hours.

    My loan officer also had my lease, which was always paid on time, added to my credit file, and a collection that had been illegally reaged and past the SOL to boot mysteriously dissappeared from my reports.

    The result was a nice boost in my scores so that I could qualify for a first time homebuyers program. By the way, in Ohio, if you've previously owned a home but it has been more than 3 years since that time, you can still qualify for a first time home buyer's program.

    Another result was that my credit reports were a little less cluttered.

    Hope this helps.

    Good luck!
