Absolutely, errors in your TransUnion tenant screening report can be a real headache when it comes to securing a rental property. Let's look at some common errors and how you can effectively correct them to boost your chances of finding the right rental:

Start by checking all your personal details. Sometimes, even a minor typo in your name or address can cause issues. If you spot inaccuracies, contact TransUnion to update this information.

Your rental history is crucial. Check that all the properties listed on your report are accurate and complete. If there's a missing rental or a property you've never lived in, dispute it with TransUnion with supporting evidence like lease agreements or utility bills.

Your credit history is often a big part of the TURSS. If you see any errors in your credit report, such as late payments or accounts that don't belong to you, dispute these with TransUnion. If there are records of evictions or legal actions that are incorrect, take the time to dispute them. Provide any evidence you have that can prove the inaccuracies. Sometimes, outdated information like a paid-off debt or resolved legal issue may still appear on your report. Contact TransUnion to have these outdated items removed or updated. If your report lacks important details, like your positive rental history or timely bill payments, provide TransUnion with the necessary documentation to fill in these gaps.

Transunion is too global to deal with petty matters. Sometimes they do not have enough time to respond to all applications and many credit histories suffer because of it. It is not always possible to get through to the support service, or it answers incorrectly and does not want to see the error in its work.
