New credit report blog
Consumer attorney Chris Kittell has started a new blog devoted to explaining the law known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Along with other consumer attorneys, many of whom are members of the National Association of Consumer Advocates, a large part of Chris's practice is devoted to helping consumers fight unfair practices by credit bureaus and the banks, other creditors and debt collectors that share your account information with credit bureaus (these are called "furnishers" in the law) or buy credit reports from them (collectively, these are called "users"). Credit bureaus and furnishers and users all have certain accuracy and procedural and dispute reinvestigation requirements under the FCRA law. Guess what, they don't always comply.
