WHEN THE CREDIT SYSTEM GETS IT WRONG — Why Errors on Your Report Deserve a Legal Fix


Credit Reports Shouldn’t Be a Source of Stress—But for Many, They Are

Your credit report affects nearly every aspect of your financial life—from securing a mortgage or renting an apartment to setting your insurance rates. But what happens when that report is wrong?

Errors on credit reports are more common than most people realize. And when the system gets it wrong, the consequences can be devastating—loan denials, job losses, or higher interest rates. At R23 Law, our California Consumer Protection Attorneys are dedicated to helping consumers hold credit bureaus accountable and fix harmful inaccuracies once and for all.

The Real-World Impact of Credit Reporting Errors

Even a single incorrect item can derail your financial future. Mistakes may include:

  • Accounts that don’t belong to you

  • Outdated public records or judgments

  • Duplicate debt entries

  • False delinquencies or charge-offs

These errors often come from the big three bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—which rely on massive amounts of data from creditors and public records. And when you try to fix these errors, the system doesn’t always cooperate. Many consumers report that bureaus ignore evidence or use automated systems to deny legitimate disputes.

You Have Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

The FCRA gives you the right to:

  • Dispute inaccuracies in your credit report

  • Receive an investigation within 30 days

  • Have incorrect information corrected or removed

  • Seek compensation if errors cause financial harm

If a bureau or data furnisher mishandles your dispute or continues to report incorrect information, they may be in violation of federal law.

Legal Action Makes the Difference

Disputing errors on your own is often a frustrating and fruitless process. That’s why legal support can be critical. R23 Law’s team of experienced attorneys knows how to:

  • Build strong cases under the FCRA

  • Demand correction of inaccurate entries

  • Pursue compensation for lost opportunities, emotional stress, and financial damage

  • Hold both credit bureaus and negligent creditors accountable

Don’t settle for form letters or automated rejections. Our firm treats every case with care—because we know it’s not just about credit scores. It’s about your livelihood, your reputation, and your peace of mind.
