Accurate Reporting ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) : The FCRA requires that all information reported to credit bureaus be accurate and complete. If a charge-off shows an incorrect balance or omits critical information ( such as ongoing litigation ), this may be a violation of the FCRA. Creditors and debt collectors must update credit reports to reflect any changes, including account status due to litigation.

Duty to Correct Inaccuracies ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Once an inaccuracy is disputed, the credit reporting agency and the furnisher ( creditor or collector ) are required to investigate and correct any inaccurate or incomplete information. Failing to do so violates the FCRA.

2. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) False or Misleading Representation ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ) : If the account is under litigation, reporting a balance without disclosing the status or inaccurately inflating the balance could be considered a misleading representation under the FDCPA. The law prohibits debt collectors from providing false or misleading information about the status or amount of a debt.

Unfair Practices ( 15 U.S.C. 1692f ) : Reporting a debt inaccurately or misleadingly during ongoing litigation can be seen as an unfair practice, as it may harm your credit score and make the debt appear worse than it is.
