2014 The Year Ahead in Debt Collection Part 5

Credit Report Disputes


Amazingly, as long as the big 3 credit bureaus have been in existence, there has never been a fine for sloppy practices or ignoring consumer disputes.

One has to ask, are they that well run, or has oversight been that sorely lacking?

This is a question that will likely be addressed by the agency of the coming year.

One of the thorniest issues will be finding a way to disentangle individuals credit.  For instance, when there is a divorced couple with one being a responsible bill payer, and the other not.  Thsi tangling can become a credit untangling nightmare.


Surprisingly, if you extrapolate from comments made by Chi Chi Wu, a lawyer at the National Consumer Law Center focussing on consumer credit issues  "We would like to see matching  <social security number> based on all nine digits of the social security number." that implies at least to us, that someone's credit with a similar personal history, just a number or two off from my social security number, could have a big impact on my own personal score.

These are things well worth the time and effort of the board to sort out.
