As you may have guessed, the credit bureaus don’t just pull your credit report from the big three credit companies every 30 days. Instead, they use a different system.

If a credit report shows an error, the credit bureau must fix it within 30 days and send the updated report to every lender that has a credit inquiry on the report. If they don’t fix it, the lender can legally report the information as outdated and potentially fraudulent.
