If you have identified a problem with your credit report and notified the credit bureau regarding the error, it is a serious matter that can directly affect your finances. If the credit bureau is ignoring your inquiry or responds that your account is either accurate or has been verified, it’s time to act. Our experienced consumer protection attorney at The Law Offices of Jibrael S. Hindi is standing by to help.
One of the most important early steps you can take if you find yourself in this challenging position is consulting with a dedicated consumer rights lawyer. If your efforts have not made a difference in terms of the credit bureau, trusted legal counsel can help. Issues like yours are guided by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Our knowledgeable consumer rights attorney has the skill necessary to help resolve the issues you are facing.
To begin, you can expect your resourceful legal representative to gather and skillfully compile the evidence necessary to clearly identify the problem at hand. This can include debt validation, your payment records, and any proof of identity theft.
Your consumer rights attorney will communicate directly with the credit bureau that has ignored your request and will plainly ask that the well-documented error be corrected. Having professional legal guidance backing you up can garner more attention than your own communications are likely to.
If your attorney determines that the credit bureau’s failure to effectively address your concern is born of negligence or willfulness rather than simple error, they will attempt to force compliance. This is generally accomplished through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
If the credit bureau in question still refuses to right the wrong you have identified without conducting the reasonable investigation called for, it is likely time to file a lawsuit against them. When your capable consumer rights lawyer takes this step, it ensures that your file will be reviewed by someone at the bureau. This is as opposed to being fed through their automated system.
At this point, you can seek compensation for the damages you have experienced, which can include all the following:
