Disputing with OC's

Correct me if I am wrong, but I just read the FCRA, and it says that OC's must respond to any credit report disputes just like the CRA's, i.e. within 30 days.
 
And if they do not comply, then they can be sued for this.
 
Right?

Re: Disputing with OC's

The way I read this- They are only need to comply with 611(a)(1) if the investigation found inaccurate reporting.
 
See the BOLDED IF and AND
 
You can only really sue for "Willful non-compliance"  
 
§ 623. Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies[15 U.S.C. § 1681s-2]
(8) Ability of Consumer to Dispute Information Directly with Furnisher
(E) Duty of person after receiving notice of dispute.
 
(iii)complete such person's investigation of the dispute and report the results of the investigation to the consumer before the expiration of the period under section 611(a)(1) within which a consumer reporting agency would be required to complete its action if the consumer had elected to dispute the information under that section; and
(iv)if the investigation finds that the information reported was inaccurate,promptly notify each consumer reporting agency to which the personfurnished the inaccurate information of that determination and provideto the agency any correction to that information that is necessary tonmake the information provided by the person accurate.

Timothy:
 
So, this means that I would need to dispute with the CRA's.  If that comes back "verified" or other response not fixing the inaccuracy, then I would go to the OC. At this point, they would be required to investigate my dispute and respond directly to me within the 30 days of receipt.
 
That about sum it up?

Notice the word investigate in the letter.  By disputing the account you subject them to the law.  Otherwise, they have a 'pass'.
