Preguntas Frecuentes

What are my basic FCRA rights?

You get free annual reports, dispute rights with 30-day investigations, security freezes, and notices for adverse actions like denials.

How do I place a security freeze under FCRA?

Contact Equifax, Experian, TransUnion online, phone, or mail—it's free and blocks new credit without your PIN lift.

Can I sue if my FCRA rights are violated?

Yes, willful violations mean $100-$1,000 statutory damages, actual losses, fees, and punitives; negligent gets actual damages.

Do employers need permission for credit checks?

Absolutely—written consent required, plus adverse action notices with report copies if they deny you.

How often can I get free credit reports?

Once yearly per CRA via AnnualCreditReport.com; more for denials, theft, or unemployment.

What if a CRA ignores my dispute?

They must investigate in 30 days; non-compliance lets you sue and demand corrections from furnishers too.
