How do I dispute an error on my business credit report?

You have the right to dispute inaccurate information directly with the reporting bureau. Each has its own process: Equifax Business at equifax.com/business and Creditsafe at creditsafe.com. Ruproa cannot alter bureau data directly, but our team can help you understand what to dispute and prepare your documentation. Contact service@ruproa.com for dispute guidance.

Why does my business have no credit profile yet?

Newly registered businesses typically have no bureau profile until they establish trade accounts and have payment history reported. Having a blank or unestablished profile in your first few months is completely normal. Ruproa's monthly reporting begins building your bureau files from the moment you connect your accounts.

How does Ruproa report to the bureaus?

Ruproa transmits authorized payment history to its business credit bureau partners on a monthly cycle. You do not need to do anything manually, reporting happens in the background once your account is set up and verified.
