Furnishers of information to the credit bureaus play a key role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of credit reporting. Furnishers also have important responsibilities in investigating consumers’ disputes of inaccurate credit report information. Identifying claims against furnishers under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, however, is not as straightforward as identifying claims against the credit bureaus themselves. This claim-spotting webinar will provide a general overview of consumer claims against furnishers under FCRA. If you have limited knowledge of FCRA and want to start taking on cases in this practice area, this webinar is for you.
Following the webinar will be an extended question and answer session and discussion.
What You Will Learn
-
- Who is a furnisher under Fair Credit Reporting Act

- What factors make claims against furnishers valuable.
