Credit Bureaus Ignore FCRA Obligations When Disputing Inaccurate Reporting

Consumers who dispute incorrect information on their TransUnion credit reports face investigations that drag beyond the 30-day FCRA requirement.

The lack of enforcement and accountability enables credit bureaus to routinely violate consumer protection timelines.
