How to generate a dispute letter (Pro)
The Pro dispute tool helps you produce a properly formatted letter to send to the credit bureaus yourself. Here's the step-by-step flow.
Find the tool
The dispute letter generator is a Pro feature, on the Disputes page. If you're on Free or Builder, you'll see a locked screen with an upgrade option instead.
Work through the steps
The tool walks you through four steps. First, you identify the error on your credit report — you pull your own report (for example from AnnualCreditReport.com) and decide what looks wrong. BuildCreditAI doesn't tell you which items to dispute; that's your call, based on facts only you know. Second, you choose the template that matches your situation. Third, you fill in your details — name, date of birth, mailing address, and the last four digits of your SSN, which is used only to identify your report and isn't stored. You also pick which bureau the letter goes to. Fourth, the tool generates the letter.
Send it yourself
Review the generated letter, then copy it or download it as a text file. You send it yourself — by certified mail (recommended) or through the bureau's own online dispute portal. BuildCreditAI does not file, mail, or follow up on disputes for you. Once a bureau receives a dispute, it generally has 30 days to investigate. BuildCreditAI is not a credit repair organization, and the tool provides templates and guidance only, not legal advice.
Key Takeaways
- The dispute generator is a Pro feature on the Disputes page.
- You identify the error and choose the template; the tool formats the letter — it never tells you what to dispute.
- You send the letter yourself by certified mail or the bureau's portal; BuildCreditAI doesn't file disputes for you.
