Court: United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Westchester County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Boris Brownstein
Description: White Plains, New York consumer credit lawyer represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation theory.
"The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a United States federal law that regulates the collection, disclosure, and use of consumer credit information. The FCRA was enacted in 1970 to protect consumers from inaccurate and unfair credit reporting practices.
The FCRA applies to all consumer reporting agencies, including credit bureaus, insurance companies, and landlords. The law requires consumer reporting agencies to:
Obtain your consent before they can report information about you to a third party.
Provide you with a copy of your credit report upon request.
Correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in your credit report.
Investigate any disputed information in your credit report.
Prevent creditors from using your credit report for certain purposes, such as insurance underwriting.
The FCRA also gives consumers the right to:
Place a fraud alert on their credit report.
Freeze their credit report.
Dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in their credit report.
Sue a consumer reporting agency for violations of the FCRA.
If you believe that your rights under the FCRA have been violated, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB is a federal agency that enforces consumer financial protection laws, including the FCRA."
