Avantus
What is Avantus?
Avantus is a supplemental credit reporting agency that provides consumer reports for the mortgage lending industry.
Avantus Credit Report Errors
When you apply for a mortgage, the lender will order credit history in order to evaluate the risk of proving you with a loan. Many times the credit reports are Tri-Merged or some other type of merged credit report. This means that the report the lender will get will contain your credit information that is reported to the three large credit bureaus, TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax, all in one report.
Sadly, errors on credit reports are very common. When it comes to these specialty reports for the mortgage lending industry, errors on an Avantus credit report can result in denial of a home mortgage.
Common Credit Report Errors
- Mixed files – the information in your credit report belongs to another individual
- Outdated Information – the credit report has an old bankruptcy or any other information that should no longer be reported
- OFAC, SDN List – credit reports list you as a terrorist or a person that is prohibited from doing business in the United States
Dispute Avantus Credit Report Errors
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you have the right to dispute errors on your Avantus credit report or any other consumer report. Once you file a dispute, Avantus will have 30 days to investigate the error and correct any mistakes.
