About This Violation

Understanding Your Student Loan Error

Credit reporting errors are more common than most people realize. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, both credit bureaus and the companies that furnish data to them are required to report accurate information about every consumer.

When they fail to do so, you have the right to dispute the error. If the bureau or furnisher fails to correct a known inaccuracy within 30 days of receiving your dispute, that failure is itself a federal violation β€” separate from the original error.

Haseeb Legal PLLC handles FCRA claims on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront costs. If you prevail, attorneys' fees are typically paid by the defendant. Submit a free case review to find out if you have a claim.

A consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S.C. Β§ 1681e(b)

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before reaching out.

Get free review →
Do I need to pay anything to get started?
+
No. FCRA cases are handled on contingency — there are no upfront charges. If you prevail, attorneys’ fees are typically paid by the defendant.
My bankruptcy was a few years ago. Is it too late?
+
The FCRA statute of limitations is generally two years from discovery of the violation, or five years from when it occurred. Don’t assume you’ve missed the window without speaking to an attorney.
The error is on all three bureaus. Does that matter?
+
Each bureau that reports inaccurate information after a proper dispute may be independently liable. Three bureaus could mean three separate claims.
I already disputed this myself. Can I still sue?
+
Yes — and a prior ignored dispute can strengthen your case. When a bureau fails to correct a known error, that can support a claim for willful noncompliance with higher damages.
What damages can I recover?
+
Actual damages (denied credit, higher rates, lost employment), statutory damages of $100–$1,000 per willful violation, emotional distress, and attorneys’ fees paid by the defendant.
Do I need to be in Florida, Illinois, or Georgia?
+
Not necessarily. The FCRA is a federal law. We handle claims in our licensed states and can refer you to a qualified attorney elsewhere.
