Section 623 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), enforceable under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions ( FACT ) Act ; affords consumers the right to request that the furnisher of information conduct a reasonable investigation into the completeness and accuracy of the information being reported to the credit bureaus. Furnishers of information ( especially OCs ) are required under Section 312 of the FACT Act to establish and maintain guidelines on the accuracy and integrity of information furnished to credit bureaus, which means they should be able to conduct a proper investigation or records. Failure to preform a reasonable investigation can constitute legal action under the FCRA, Section 616, for willful non-compliance. Case law establishing liability of reporting inaccurate information was established in Richardson v. Fleet and Nelson v. Chase Manhattan. Failure to conduct a reasonable investigation can also lead to complaints being filed with your states Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
