How Do I Get a Copy of My Innovis Credit Report

You have a Right to a Copy of Your Innovis Credit Report

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) gives consumers the right to receive free copies of their Innovis consumer reports and to dispute any inaccuracies. Innovis is a “consumer reporting agency” under the FCRA and is required to give a free copy of your report every year. You have the right to receive that credit report on an annual basis and to dispute any errors that you find that Innovis made. There are a number of reasons allowing your to get a free copy of your credit report. If you don’t know whether your are entitled to a free copy, you can email us through this site or call (888) 400-CREDIT | (888) 400-2733 to get help.

Order by Mail

Even though it may seem more convenient and quicker to order over the web, you should only order your Innovis report by mail. Consumers who order over the web are subject to risks that mail requests don’t have. (Check our posts on Ordering Your Report and Ordering Your Report by Phone) Most importantly, when you order by mail, you should use a delivery verification services like “registered mail” or “return receipt request” so that you have proof of mailing to request to Innovis and that Innovis received a copy of the request. This will insure that you have proof of the request if Innovis refuses to send the report. If you need help with your mail request for your Innovis credit report, you can email us through this site or call (888) 400-CREDIT | (888) 400-2733 to get help.

Include Proper Identification

One of the most common, and frustrating, experiences of consumers is that Innovis may refuse to provide a copy of the report without adequate identification. Federal law allows the credit bureaus to refuse a request for reports if they have reason to believe that an imposter has requested the report. But Innovis has misused this exemption in the past and has been sued for this in a class action. And because these disclosures can take up to 30 days to return from the bureaus, sending the proper identification can significantly cut the time needed to obtain the reports and begin any necessary disputes. You can shortcut this problem by including identification with your report request. Sufficient identification should include:

  • Government Issued Photo ID (drivers license, passport, or personal identification card).
  • Current bank or credit card statement showing your current address.
  • Social Security Card.
  • Utility bill (phone, gas, cable, or wireless).

By including this information in your initial request to Innovis, your reduce the chance that Innovis will refuse to provide a copy of your disclosure. If you need a copy of letters request reports, see our sample letters and requests. If you don’t know how much or what identification to include in your request, you can email us through this site or call (888) 400-CREDIT | (888) 400-2733 to get help.

Keep a Copy of Your Request to Innovis

After you have drafted your request and assembled the necessary support documents, sign your request letter and make a photocopy. Even after you have gone to the trouble of assembling all the necessary documentation, Innovis may still not send your report. If so, you will need a copy of your request to enforce your rights. Make sure to keep a copy of all the supporting documents along with the letter. Keep an electronic copy of this this request with your other Innovis credit reporting materials. If you don’t know how to organize your credit file, you can email us through this site or call (888) 400-CREDIT | (888) 400-2733 to get help.

What if They Don’t Send the Report

The FCRA requires that that the Innovis provide a copy of your report, once a year, for free. If Innovis refuses to give you a copy of your report, you have the right to sue for damages. Once consumer in Georgia tried unsuccessfully to get their report from a credit bureau. Even though that consumer provided enough information to identify them to establish their identity, the credit bureau still refused. That consumer was ultimately able to recover a jury verdict in their favor for the refusal. If you have already followed the steps in this article, you may be ready to enforce your rights by bringing a lawsuit against Innovis.
