Frequently Asked Questions

Credit report errors refer to inaccuracies or discrepancies in Idaho credit report information, which can negatively impact your credit score and financial well-being. These errors may include incorrect personal information, accounts erroneously reported as late or delinquent, fraudulent activity, or accounts that do not belong to you. Addressing Idaho credit report errors is crucial because they can lead to denied credit applications, higher interest rates on loans, and even affect your ability to secure housing or employment in Idaho.

It's essential to regularly review your credit report from all three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Carefully examine the information on your report for inaccuracies such as incorrect personal details, unfamiliar accounts, or fraudulent activity. If you spot any discrepancies, it's vital to take action promptly to dispute and correct them.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law enacted to promote accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in consumer credit reports. Under the FCRA, Idaho consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports, and credit reporting agencies are required to investigate these disputes within a reasonable timeframe. If the information cannot be verified as accurate, it must be corrected or removed. Additionally, the FCRA provides Idaho consumers with the right to sue credit reporting agencies for violations, seeking damages for financial harm caused by inaccurate reporting.

Credit report errors can manifest in various forms, including:

Incorrect personal information (e.g., name, address, Social Security number)
Accounts inaccurately reported as late, delinquent, or in collections
Duplicate accounts or entries
Accounts erroneously attributed to you due to identity theft or fraud
Inaccurate credit inquiries
Closed accounts reported as open
Erroneous public records (e.g., bankruptcies, liens, judgments)
Mixed files, where information belonging to another consumer appears on your report

Idaho credit report errors can arise from a multitude of factors, including clerical or data entry errors by credit reporting agencies or furnishers, identity theft or fraud resulting in fraudulent accounts or activity on your report, failure of creditors or lenders to report accurate information or update records, miscommunication or discrepancies between creditors, lenders, and credit bureaus, system errors or glitches within credit reporting systems, and insufficient verification processes leading to the inclusion of inaccurate information.

If you believe you have been harmed by credit report errors, it's essential to take proactive steps to address the issue and protect your rights. Start by documenting the errors, including gathering any supporting documentation that corroborates your claims. Next, file a dispute directly with the credit reporting agencies reporting the inaccuracies. Be sure to keep records of all communications. If the credit reporting agencies fail to correct the errors or investigate your disputes in a timely manner (usually 30 days), or if you've suffered financial harm due to the inaccuracies, it may be time to seek legal assistance. A law firm specializing in Fair Credit Reporting Act lawsuits for Idaho residents can provide invaluable guidance and representation throughout the process, including filing a lawsuit under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to pursue damages for the harm caused by the errors.

Any Idaho consumer whose credit report contains erroneous information, and who has been successful in having the errors corrected by credit reporting companies may make a claim by filing a Fair Credit Reporting Act lawsuit in Idaho.

We will always listen to your circumstances and give you our analysis of your case without any cost or further obligation.

If a mistake or error made its way onto your credit report some time in the past, you may have encountered significant financial losses or missed opportunities as a result. Both of these circumstances can result in anxiety, worry and emotional suffering, all of which can be a hard hole to dig yourself out of. In short, many consumers underestimate the damage that credit report errors can cause, or the lengths they may need to go to in order to be successful in a credit report dispute. It is our fervent hope that every Fair Credit Reporting Act lawsuit we file can serve to make credit reporting companies take note of the loss and suffering its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action to repair and prevent credit report mistakes, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.
