This company came up on my credit report 3 times over the past three months. I have never had any dealing with this company and have no idea why they would show up on my credit report. Does anyone know how to dispute this?
Thanks

What shows up? A loan, foreclosure, something else?
This company buys debt (usually credit card debt) for pennies on the dollar, in bulk, and then attempts to collect.
Is it possible you have an old account with another company and "Main Street" bought it and is trying to collect?

I owe no money to anyone, I have been credit card free for over 10 years. I have one open card that has not been used in years for emergencies and just use my debit card. Next to their name it just says Finance, charge off or collection. I've owned my car out right for over 6 years and rent. So am very confused as to who this company is and why they are one my credit report. How do I dispute this?
Thanks

Contact Main Street and ask for an explanation OR dispute it with the credit card companies. Each company has its own procedure.
