You will document the credit report correction letters or any correspondence you have with the company till the dispute is redressed. There are chances of them not being able to complete the investigation just in time for your application for a job and in such cases you can request the bureau to include the dispute statement into your file. Additionally you can ask the company to send the fresh free sample letter credit report to all those who received in the last two years.
