If you’re a survivor of human trafficking, you may have adverse items of information on your credit report as a result of the trafficking. We can help you through the process of removing that information.
If you see adverse items of information on your FactorTrust credit report that resulted from trafficking, you can take these steps to remove them.
To request the removal of adverse information from your FactorTrust credit report, you need to mail a letter with supporting documentation to FactorTrust.
In this letter, identify the adverse items of information that are on your credit report as a result of the trafficking. You can write the letter yourself, or you can use this sample letter from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
With your letter, you’ll also need to include proof of identity and a trafficking victim determination. A trafficking victim determination is documentation that you are a victim of trafficking issued or signed by a federal, state, local or tribal governmental entity.
Please only submit photocopies of documents that prove your identity. Examples of acceptable documents include:
Proof of Identification Documents (Provide 1) | Trafficking Victim Determination Documents (Provide 1) |
---|---|
If you can't provide proof of identity from one of the documents above, you can call us at 888-710-0268 to verify your identity over the phone |
|
We’re here to help. You can call FactorTrust Trafficking Victim Support Monday–Friday 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Eastern Time, excluding holidays.
