Washington Bankruptcy Lawyers Enforcing the Fair Credit Reporting Act
Like creditors, credit bureaus have requirements under laws that govern their industry. The Fair Credit Reporting Act mandates that the information they have is accurate and up to date. Violations are not only illegal, but they can also affect your ability to secure credit in a post-bankruptcy future.
Attorney Matt Iwama, founder of the Iwama Law Firm, dedicates himself to not only your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing, but also to holding credit bureaus accountable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Information from a credit bureau can negatively impact your ability to buy a car or house, even if the information on your credit report is inaccurate. Contact our Kent-based law office at 253-656-4851 or toll free at 888-465-0246.
Aggressively Pursuing Litigation for Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act
Discovering discharged debt on a credit report forces us to take action. Certified letters are sent to credit bureaus, demanding that the inaccuracies be removed. If they continue to wrongly report debts that have been legally removed through bankruptcy, we will not hesitate to file suit and litigate the matter in court.
Far too much is at stake to allow false data on a credit report to affect your life. Bankruptcy provided you with a fresh start. Our legal services go beyond the filing of a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. We contact our clients annually to pull credit reports for our review. If we find inaccuracies, we remain at your side until your credit report is reflective of your fresh start.
