Clear your name. Know your rights. Fix errors. Complete guide to disputing CRB listings and rebuilding your credit score.
Why This Matters
Over 4.5 million Kenyans are listed on CRB. Many don't even know they're blacklisted until they try to borrow. Your photo rejected at the bank counter. Loan applications denied instantly. Job offers withdrawn. All because of a CRB listing you didn't know existed—or worse, one that's completely incorrect.
Here's the truth: You have RIGHTS. Incorrect listings can be removed. Legitimate debts can be cleared properly. This guide shows you exactly how.
