Turned down over a number. Nobody showed you the paperwork.
Read your report line by line, find what’s wrong, and send a letter for every item, in your own name.
The first round of letters is free. Download them, or have BizBox mail them certified for the postage, at cost.
Scroll: each wrong item becomes two letters
How it works
Six steps, in order.
01 / 06
Pull all three reports
Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, at no cost from annualcreditreport.com. Keep them: BizBox never asks for your report. The three never match, and you can’t dispute what you haven’t seen.
Avery, step three: the one people skip
Never dispute something true to see if it sticks.
Disputing a true item wastes the letter, wastes thirty days, and teaches the bureau to read the next one as noise.
The reading line goes down every account. Watch what it keeps.

Avery, step four: the letter most people never send
Every item takes two letters, not one.
One goes to the credit bureau. The other goes to the company that reported the item. Two separate investigations, two separate answers. Sending only the first is the most common way a dispute quietly goes nowhere.

Re: Dispute of inaccurate information · Capital One account ending 8812
I am writing to dispute the following information in my credit file. This account is not mine. I did not open it and I have never had an account with this company.
I am requesting that this item be investigated and removed or corrected, and that you send me the results of your investigation.
Enclosed: a copy of my report with the item marked, and a copy of my ID.
Sincerely,Avery J. Monroe
Two investigations. Two answers. You sign both.
This started with a friend, not with us
That happened to him. It is not what this page is promising you. Nobody can promise a removal, a score or a date. What an investigation concludes is up to the credit bureau and the company that reported the item.
Now the work is yours
Three reports. One clear next move.
Avery’s sample shows the path. Your own details stay yours.

The boundary
Your report stays yours.
What you do
- Pull your three reports, at no cost, from the federal site.
- Keep them, or sign in to upload the PDFs privately.
- Decide what is wrong. The call is yours.
- Read and sign every letter before it goes.
- Mail them yourself, or pay the postage at cost to have BizBox send them.
What BizBox does
- Never asks you to type a Social Security number, a birth date or a full account number. Uploaded reports may contain these details.
- Writes two letters per item from plain templates, for you to read and sign.
- Mails them certified in your name if you ask, for the postage at cost.
- Emails you the mail service reference for every letter it mails.
- Never calls a bureau, negotiates, or promises a result.
Say it plainly
The forms cost nothing. Neither do your reports.
The CFPB publishes the sample dispute letters these are built on, and your three reports cost nothing. Here they are.
After Avery’s report is in order

A clean report opens the better cards. Here is how to read where you stand, the cards with the longest 0% periods, and the order banks are usually approached in.

The rules behind the order
What each bank watches for.
Most of these are not written in the card terms. They are patterns cardholders have reported for years, and the banks can change them. We mark which is which.
Chase5/24
Chase will usually decline if you have opened 5 or more personal credit cards (from any bank) in the past 24 months.
Reported by cardholdersSource ↗ChaseSame-card 24-month bonus rule (personal)
You can't get the bonus (or the card) if you currently have that card, or got its new-cardmember bonus in the last 24 months.
In the issuer’s termsSource ↗ChaseInk no-annual-fee lifetime-style bonus rule (business)
On Ink Business Unlimited and Ink Business Cash, the bonus 'may not be available to you if you have ever had this card or any other Chase for Business card without an annual fee.'
In the issuer’s termsSource ↗ChasePromotional-pricing history
Chase pricing pages say people who currently receive promotional pricing, or who have a history of using Chase cards only for promotional offers, are not eligible for a second Chase card with promotional pricing. Holders of a card in the same Rewards Program may not get a second one.
In the issuer’s termsSource ↗American ExpressOnce-per-lifetime ('have or have had') welcome offer AND intro APR
You may not get the welcome offer or the intro APR if you have or ever had that card (or earlier versions). Amex also says it may consider your balance-transfer history and the number of cards you've opened and closed. If you're ineligible, Amex tells you before processing so you can withdraw.
In the issuer’s termsSource ↗American Express1 in 5 days / 2 in 90 days
Amex reportedly approves at most 1 credit card per rolling 5 days and 2 credit cards per rolling 90 days (charge cards don't count).
Reported by cardholdersSource ↗Citi48-month bonus rule
No new-account bonus if you received one for the same card in the past 48 months (including via product change).
In the issuer’s termsSource ↗Citi1 in 8 days / 2 in 65 days
Citi reportedly approves at most 1 personal card per 8 days and 2 applications per 65 days. Business cards reportedly 1 per 95 days.
Reported by cardholdersSource ↗Capital One48-month bonus rule
Existing or previous cardmembers who got a new-cardmember bonus for that product in the past 48 months are not eligible.
In the issuer’s termsSource ↗Capital One1 new card per 6 months; pulls all three bureaus
Capital One reportedly approves only one card (personal or business) every 6 months, and usually pulls Experian, Equifax and TransUnion on each application.
Reported by cardholdersSource ↗Bank of America2/3/4
At most 2 new BofA cards per rolling 2 months, 3 per 12 months, 4 per 24 months. Reportedly also 7/12 (with a BofA deposit account) or 3/12 (without), counting all banks.
Reported by cardholdersSource ↗U.S. BankInquiry / new-account sensitivity
No published velocity rule, but U.S. Bank is widely reported to decline applicants with many recent inquiries or new accounts, and to favour existing customers.
Reported by cardholdersSource ↗Wells Fargo1 consumer card per 4 months; 48-month intro/bonus rule
'You may not qualify for an additional Wells Fargo-branded consumer credit card if you have opened a Wells Fargo-branded consumer credit card in the last 4 months.' You may not get intro APRs, fees or bonuses if you have that card or opened one in the last 48 months, even if closed.
In the issuer’s termsSource ↗Barclays6/24 (soft)
More than about 6 new accounts in 24 months may trigger denial; very sensitive to recent applications.
Reported by cardholdersSource ↗Discover (Capital One)Max 2 Discover cards; first account open ~1 year
Reportedly you can hold at most 2 Discover cards, and the first must be open about a year before a second is approved. Cashback Match is only for new cardholders.
Reported by cardholdersSource ↗Straight answers.
Do you fix my credit for me?
No. You decide what to dispute, and you read and sign every letter. BizBox writes the letters from plain templates using what you tell it, and can mail them for you if you ask. We do not call a bureau, negotiate, or act for you.
Will an item come off my report?
Nobody can honestly promise that. Disputing information you believe is inaccurate is your right. What an investigation concludes is up to the credit bureau and the company that reported the item. Some things change. Some do not, and then you send the next letter.
Where does my report go?
If you sign in and upload a PDF, it is stored privately in your account and processed for account details. The letter builder does not ask you to type a Social Security number, birth date or full account number. Review every item before making a letter.
What does it cost?
The first round of letters is free. Download them and mail them yourself, or have BizBox send them by certified mail for the postage at cost: $6.94 a letter, or $9.85 with a return receipt. BizBox adds nothing on top.
Can I use it to help someone else?
You can help a family member. Doing it for other people for payment is a different thing legally: that makes you a credit repair organization under federal law, and those rules say you cannot take any money until the work is finished. Some states add registration and bonding on top. Check the rules where you live before you charge anyone.
Are the CFPB sample letters available at no cost already?
Yes, and your three reports cost nothing either. We link to both below. What BizBox adds is the system around them: sorting what is disputable, the second letter most people never send, and the follow-up.
Is this legal advice?
No, and it never claims to be. If your situation needs a lawyer, it needs a lawyer.
Read it. Sort it. Send the letters.
No login. Two letters for every item; the first round of letters is free.
