PenFed Credit Union Dispute Address
Use this page to send written correspondence disputing inaccurate or unverifiable information reported by PenFed Credit Union.
Where to find the correct PenFed Credit Union address
PenFed Credit Union routes dispute mail by product and account, so the correct address depends on your account. Check these three places, in order:
- The collection letter or notice. Look for a line that reads something like “send written disputes to” or “correspondence address” — usually in small print near the bottom or on the reverse side.
- Your billing statement. Statements often list a separate correspondence or billing-inquiries address that is different from the payment address.
- The online account portal. Contact or support pages inside the account usually publish the current dispute address.
Always available: dispute with the three credit bureaus
Whatever PenFed Credit Union address you use, you can dispute inaccurate or unverifiable information directly with the nationwide credit bureaus. They are required to forward your dispute to the furnisher.
If you don't have a notice
Write to PenFed Credit Union at any published customer-service address and request, in writing, the mailing address it uses for written disputes. Send that request certified mail with return receipt and keep proof of the request — it documents your attempt if you later need to escalate.

Once your dispute is received, the company generally has 30 days to investigate under the Fair Credit Reporting Act — up to 45 days if you send extra information during the investigation. You should get a written response describing the outcome.
If there is no response, follow up in writing with a copy of your certified-mail receipt, dispute the same information directly with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and consider filing a complaint with the CFPB and your state attorney general. Keep every response in one file.
