CREDIT REPORTING
It can be frustrating to deal with inaccurate credit reports. Not only can errors wreak havoc on your financial and mental wellbeing, but they can sometimes be complex to correct. The good news is that consumers have rights, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), that help ensure credit reporting agencies report accurate information and creditors appropriately reinvestigate disputes. California consumer have a few additional protections under the state's Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act (CCRAA).

"Re-aged" debts that are older than reported
