HOUSTON: We have a Problem! My Criminal History is wrong on the RCR Report.

HELP - What do I do, the Houston Apartment Association RCR report is wrong...

This does happen, rarely, but it happens and can take the form of improper credit reporting, improper rental history or improper criminal history. When the report is wrong here's what I suggest as the best two alternatives:

1. Find an apartment complex that doesn't use the HAA RCR report for verification


2. Get the RCR (Rental Credit Reporting) report corrected. You really should do this anyway since you may need an apartment at a later time that uses this popular report. Here's how to fix it (this text is from the RCR report owner):
