⚠️ Important Submission Tip: When faxing a secondary bureau, always include a clear cover page detailing exactly how many pages are in the transmission. To stay compliant with factual disputing standards, ensure copies of your government-issued ID and a utility bill (proof of address) are legible on the fax scan, as low-quality transmissions can cause the bureaus to reject the request for verification purposes.
