Q: My credit report does not contain Spouse information. Should it? Should I include Spouse information when requesting or disputing a report?
A: (Copied from EXPERIAN.COM) "The credit reporting agencies maintain individual credit files for each U.S. resident. They do not maintain combined files for spouses. Therefore, your credit report is separate and different from your spouse's. Joint credit accounts you have with your spouse will appear on both credit reports."
Because the bureaus maintain individual credit files for each US resident, it is easiest when communicating to the Credit Bureaus communicate as individuals, rather than trying to combine communications and disputes.
When using Credit-Aid Software, it is advisable to create completely separate user profiles and completely separate request and dispute letters, rather than trying to copy and paste between spouses.

Q: I am trying to download this program, but I keep getting corrupt or NCIS error messages when trying to install it. What is wrong?
A "corrupt" or "NCIS" error you are getting means that you are not downloading the entire program. You must download the entire file. If you're having trouble downloading your product, contact the company you purchased from. It was not us, but contact information is here.
If you are double clicking on the file you have downloaded and nothing happens, or you get an error message that Windows doesn't know what to do with it, you probably haven't downloaded the entire file.
We test the links daily and they generally take 2 Minutes to download on standard DSL or Broadband, but occasionally your antivirus or internet settings on your computer may be preventing you from completing the download. If you are getting error when trying to download and install the software, here are the steps to take to correct this problem:
Delete the partial file you have downloaded
Delete ALL temporary internet files (Control Panel – Internet Settings)
Completely SHUT DOWN and RESTART your computer
Download the file again and remember to save it to your desktop. Make sure you have the full file. Once it has downloaded, you can check the file size by doing a right mouse click on the file itself and choosing PROPERTIES (with the left mouse button).
