As you know, having a clean credit report is essential to your financial future, and credit reporting errors can be extremely damaging and costly.
Our firm has extensive experience in protecting consumers, just like you from inaccurate credit reporting.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you have a right to the fair and accurate reporting of your credit information. You are also entitled to certain privacy rights concerning your credit information and protection from the misuse of your credit information.
If someone violates your rights under the FCRA, you have some remedies available. The type of remedy will depend on whether the violation was intentional or negligent.
If you suspect that your credit is inaccurate or If you have credit report errors that you cannot get removed, we can review your credit report at No Cost to you.
Why is fixing your credit report so important?
Because we have found that many credit reports contain errors after a bankruptcy.
And because those errors can damage, if not kill:
- Your ability to re-establish your credit,
- Your credit score,
- Your ability to qualify for a loan or credit,
- And, even if you do qualify, your ability to get as much of a loan as you need or the interest you deserve, and
- Generally, your ability to make the most of the “fresh start” your bankruptcy provided.
An accurate credit report can make all the difference. So, let’s get started. Here’s how.
