Duty to Provide CRAs with Accurate Information Prohibition on Reporting Inaccurate Information. Section 623 ( a ) of the FCRA generally prohibits a person from furnishing inaccurate information to a CRA. The standards for the prohibition differ, depending on whether the person specifies an address for receipt of notices from consumers concerning inaccurate information. If the person specifies such an address, it may not furnish information relating to a consumer to any CRA, if ( a ) the consumer notified the person, at the specified address, that the information is inaccurate, and ( b ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. 

Duty to Provide Dates of Delinquency. When an account is placed for collection, is charged to profit or loss, or a similar action is taken, and that delinquency is furnished to a CRA, the furnisher must notify the CRA of the date of delinquency on the account no later than 90 days after furnishing the information. This date is the month and year the account first becomes delinquent, not when the creditor places the account for collections, charges the account to profit or loss, or takes a similar action. 

Duty to Implement Reasonable Policies and Procedures Regulation V requires furnishers to establish and implement reasonable written policies and procedures regarding the accuracy and integrity of the consumer information furnished to CRAs.

Accuracy means that the information the furnisher provides to a CRA correctly : Identifies the appropriate consumer ; Reflects the accounts terms and liability ; and Reflects the consumers performance with respect to the account.34 Integrity means the information the furnisher provides to a CRA : Is substantiated by the furnishers records at the time it is furnished ; Is in a form designed to minimize the likelihood that the information may be incorrectly reflected in a consumer report ; Includes the information in the furnishers possession regarding the credit limit, if applicable ; and Includes any other information in the furnishers possession that the Bureau has determined the absence of which would likely be materially misleading in evaluating a consumers creditworthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living.
