1. 1

   Email [email protected] for help with your query. If you have a question about anything involving Credit Karma, send your email to this address. Emailing the company is more direct than the other steps although it may take a little longer to receive a response.

2. 2

   Type your issue in the subject line. The reasoning behind this is it allows Credit Karma to sort through emails and give them to the relevant team members who can help you with your issue. You don't need to type out a full question, simply use a keyword which will tell Credit Karma what your issue is.

   • For example, if you have a question regarding setting up a new account, make "New Account Issue" or something along those lines the subject of your email.
3. 3

   Write a clear email outlining your issue. For fastest resolution of your problem, the email should be as short as it can possibly be while still conveying the entirety of your problem. Explain your issue as concisely and clearly as possible.^[4]

   • You want the Credit Karma staff member to resolve your issue as quickly as possible, and shorter emails make that much easier.
4. 4

   Include your date of birth and first and last name in the email. This will allow the Credit Karma staff member dealing with your query to easily find your account on their system. There might be a lot of people with the same name as you on the system but date of birth will significantly narrow the results.

5. 5

   Sign off your email at the end. After you've finished telling Credit Karma your issue, end the email politely and thank them for their time and help. For example:^[5]

   • "Thank you for your time and patience in helping me with this issue. I would be very appreciative if you could solve this problem for me. Kind regards, [Your name]."
   • You should follow a formal format when you use email for business.
   • Start with a salutation and close with warm regards or best regards.
   • Make sure your spelling and grammar are correct.
6. 6

   Wait for a response. Of course, how long it takes to receive a response to your email depends on the complexity of your issue. Account set up and management issues should generally be resolved within a couple of weeks. Most issues should be resolved within 30 days but credit report problems can take longer.
