These sections mandate the maximum accuracy of consumer information and require that credit reporting agencies and furnishers correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

Violation of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : As the reporting practices misrepresent my payment history, they fail to align with TILAs requirement for accuracy in the reporting of credit information.

Additionally, under the FCRA, Articles 616 and 617 ( 15 USC 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liabilities for willful and negligent noncompliance. These provisions allow for actual damages, attorneys fees, and punitive damages due to the failure to comply with the Acts requirements.
