Defending Central Florida Consumers from Inaccurate Credit Reporting
What Is the Fair Credit Reporting Act?
The FCRA is a federal law that regulates how credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) and data furnishers (like banks, lenders, and debt collectors) manage your personal credit information.
Under the FCRA, you have the right to:
- One free credit report per year from each bureau
- Dispute inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete items
- Receive a response to your dispute within 30 days
- Have identity theft accounts removed with proper documentation
- Be notified when your report was used to deny you
- File a lawsuit and seek damages for violations
Our attorneys hold the credit reporting agencies accountable and ensure your rights are enforced.
Common Credit Reporting Errors in the Orlando Area
Consumers across Central Florida face serious credit reporting issues that can have major consequences. Some of the most common violations we see include:
1. Mixed Files
Your report contains data from someone with a similar name or Social Security number.
2. Identity Theft
Fraudulent accounts remain on your credit report even after you submit a police report and identity theft affidavit.
3. Re-aged or Duplicate Accounts
Old debts are re-aged to look new, or accounts are listed multiple times.
4. Incorrect Account Status
Paid, closed, or settled accounts are still marked as delinquent or open.
5. Outdated Negative Information
Late payments, collections, and bankruptcies remain beyond the legally allowed time limits.
6. Improper Dispute Handling
If the credit bureau fails to investigate your dispute or ignores it entirely, they may be in violation of the FCRA.
How Credit Report Errors Harm Orlando Consumers
In a competitive housing and job market like Orlando’s, credit errors can impact your life in real and lasting ways:
- Loan and credit denials
- Increased interest rates
- Rental application rejections in neighborhoods like Baldwin Park or Lake Nona
- Employment setbacks, especially in finance, healthcare, or public safety
- Emotional distress and reputational damage
You don’t have to accept these consequences. We can help you fix the error and pursue financial compensation.
What You Can Recover in an FCRA Lawsuit
If your rights under the FCRA were violated, you may be eligible for:
- Statutory damages up to $1,000 per violation
- Actual damages for denied credit, job loss, or emotional distress
- Punitive damages for willful violations
- Attorney’s fees and costs — paid by the defendants
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win.
