- If the dealership did not disclose the vehicle has a salvaged title.

Credit report errors are all too common. That is why the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) was put in place to help protect consumers. If you have received your credit report and it has mistakes, it is important to dispute them as soon as possible to prevent them from doing any further damage to your credit.
