Common Errors in a Credit Report

Credit reports can contain a variety of mistakes that negatively impact your financial standing. Some of the most common errors include:

Incorrect personal information: This can range from misspelled names to incorrect addresses, Social Security numbers, or birthdates. These errors can lead to confusion and misattribution of credit history.
Accounts that do not belong to you: Sometimes, accounts from other individuals with similar names or Social Security numbers may appear in your report. This can significantly affect your credit score and overall credit profile.
Duplicate accounts: The same debt might be listed multiple times, making it appear as though you owe more than you actually do. This duplication can be misleading and detrimental to your creditworthiness.
Outdated information: Old debts that have been paid off or settled might still be shown as outstanding. A credit report that gives up-to-date information is needed for an accurate financial assessment.
Incorrect account statuses: Accounts may be incorrectly marked as late, delinquent, or in collections, even when they are current. These inaccuracies can unfairly lower your credit score.
Errors in account balances: Mistakes in reporting the balance of your accounts, such as showing higher amounts than what you actually owe, can affect your debt-to-income ratio and credit utilization rate.
Inaccurate credit limits: Incorrect credit limits on revolving accounts can misrepresent your credit utilization, potentially lowering your credit score.

Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) provides you with important legal rights regarding the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in your credit report.

These rights include:

The right to access your credit report: You are entitled to one free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). This allows you to monitor your credit regularly and catch errors early.
The right to dispute inaccuracies: If you find any incorrect or incomplete information in your credit report, you have the right to dispute it with the credit reporting agency. They must investigate your claim within 30 days. We can help.

The right to notification: If a creditor or employer takes adverse action against you based on your credit report, they must notify you and provide the name, address, and phone number of the credit reporting agency that supplied the information.
The right to limit access to your report: Your credit report can only be accessed by entities with a legitimate need, such as creditors, insurers, employers, and landlords. Unauthorized access to your report is prohibited by law.
The right to the privacy of your information: The FCRA imposes strict regulations on how your credit information can be used and shared. Credit reporting agencies and those who access your report must protect your data’s confidentiality.
The right to have outdated information removed: Negative information, such as late payments or bankruptcies, must be removed from your credit report after a specified time period.
The right to sue for damages: If a credit reporting agency, creditor, or other entity violates your rights under the FCRA, you have the right to sue them in state or federal court for damages.

The credit reporting attorneys in our Tampa office work vigorously to protect your rights and get you fair treatment under the law.
