Common Questions About FCRA Violations
What is the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)?
The FCRA is a federal law that dictates how credit reporting agencies must handle your data. It guarantees your right to accuracy, fairness, and privacy. If a bureau or company violates these rights—for example, by reporting false information—you have the right to sue.
What are the most common FCRA violations?
Violations often happen when bureaus fail to ensure "maximum possible accuracy." Common examples include:
Do I need a lawyer to dispute a credit report error?
You can file an initial dispute yourself, but if the credit bureau ignores you or "verifies" the false information, you need a lawyer. Creditor Strike Legal PC guides you on how to structure your dispute to create a solid paper trail for a future lawsuit.
How much does an FCRA violation lawyer cost?
At Creditor Strike Legal PC, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees. If we win your case, our fees are typically paid by the credit bureaus or furnishers as part of the settlement. If we don't recover money for you, you owe us nothing.
Can I sue for errors on an employment background check?
Yes. Background check companies are subject to the FCRA. If you lost a job opportunity because a background check company reported inaccurate criminal history or employment data, you may be entitled to significant damages.
What kind of financial compensation can I get?
If successful, you may recover:
Can you force the credit bureaus to change my score?
We cannot "order" a score change, but we can sue to force the correction of the inaccurate data that is dragging your score down. A successful lawsuit usually results in the deletion of the bad data, which typically repairs the credit score.
What constitutes a "willful" violation?
A "willful" violation means the company knew the law (or acted recklessly) and violated it anyway. For example, if you provided clear proof of payment, but the bureau ignored it and kept reporting the debt as unpaid, that may be willful. Willful violations often allow for higher damages.
How long does a lawsuit against a credit bureau take?
While every case is different, many FCRA cases are resolved through settlement within 6 to 12 months. We strive to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
What if I am wrongly marked as "deceased" on my report?
This is a severe error that freezes your ability to get credit immediately. It is a serious violation of the FCRA. If you have been wrongly flagged as deceased, contact us immediately, as this often requires legal intervention to fix quickly.
Why shouldn't I just use a credit repair company?
Credit repair companies often charge monthly fees to send generic letters that bureaus easily ignore. As attorneys, we use the power of federal law to demand compliance. We don't charge you monthly fees; we make the credit bureaus pay for their mistakes.
