Adding current employer to report?

You can file a dispute with the bureaus, or you can update your employer information, etc... with your lenders.

Out of curiosity why would you want to do that?

Note that if you call and request it be added it will notate that the information was added by you. This looks a bit suspicious to underwriters because most people have that info added organically, as in a creditor reports it and it's notated as such.

Honestly I'm not sure how / if this info is used by creditors.   Almost all of them use other services to verify employment, income, etc.. so the employer listed on your reports may not be meaningful.

How do they verify employment or income?

[CreditPoor]

There are bureaus and services that specialize in income and employment verification. Examples include The Work Number, operated by Equifax, which provides automated income and employment verifications. These bureaus collect and store employment data from various employers and can quickly provide verification to lenders and other entities.

If you're thinking of adding an employer to look more lendable, I can assure you that can easily be sniffed out. Like I previously stated, if you add your own employer to your profile it's noted that info was added by you. This looks suspicious in itself because most people don't go to those lengths and it's often the case people don't want their employers listed for security reasons. It just throws up red flags and could end up getting your profile scrutinized more.
