Protecting North Carolina Consumers from Inaccurate Credit Reporting
What Is the Fair Credit Reporting Act?
The FCRA is a federal law that regulates how credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) and data furnishers (banks, lenders, collection agencies) handle your credit information. The law is designed to ensure accuracy, privacy, and accountability.
Your rights under the FCRA include:
- One free credit report per year from each bureau
- The ability to dispute inaccurate or outdated information
- A 30-day deadline for bureaus to investigate and correct disputes
- The ability to block identity theft accounts
- Notice when your credit report is used against you
- The right to sue for damages if your rights are violated
If any of these rights are ignored or violated, FCRA Attorneys can help.
Common Credit Report Errors in Charlotte
In Charlotte’s competitive housing and employment markets, credit errors can cost you significantly. Common issues we help resolve include:
1. Mixed Files
Your report contains information from another person with a similar name, SSN, or address.
2. Identity Theft
Accounts opened fraudulently in your name stay on your credit report despite proof of theft.
3. Duplicate or Re-Aged Accounts
The same account is listed multiple times or appears more recent than it is, lowering your score.
4. Incorrect Payment History
Paid or closed accounts still show as past due or delinquent.
5. Outdated Negative Items
Collections or late payments stay on your report beyond the 7–10 year legal limit.
6. Inadequate Dispute Investigations
When a bureau fails to properly investigate your dispute, they may be liable for FCRA violations.
How Credit Reporting Errors Affect Charlotte Consumers
Inaccurate credit information can result in:
- Higher interest rates or outright denials for mortgages, auto loans, or credit cards
- Rental rejections in high-demand areas like Plaza Midwood or NoDa
- Job disqualifications, especially for roles in finance, security, or public service
- Emotional distress and reputational harm
You have a legal right to fair credit reporting — and FCRA Attorneys is here to defend it.
What You Can Recover in an FCRA Lawsuit
If your rights are violated, the law allows you to pursue:
- Statutory damages up to $1,000 per violation
- Actual damages for lost credit, housing, or employment opportunities
- Punitive damages if violations were willful
- Attorney’s fees and costs paid by the defendant
We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing unless we win.
