Furnishers of Credit Information
The FCRA places obligations upon creditors who furnish a consumers credit information to a reporting agency. This may include lenders, retailers, collection agencies, etc., that deal with customer credit and report that information to a reporting agency. The FCRA requires that these creditors:
provide complete and accurate information to the credit reporting agencies;
investigate consumer disputes received from credit reporting agencies;
correct, delete, or verify information within 30 days of receipt of a dispute; and
inform consumers within one month about negative information that is in the process of or has already been placed on a consumer’s credit report.
Note: This normally includes providing notice before and after negative information is reported.
