Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Kansas

Re: Son's Debt posted On Father's Record

There are federal statutes designed to protect consumers from false credit reporting. The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows you to sue an entity who intentionally gives wrong credit reporting information. Also, Georgia is one of the few states that will allow you to sue under a defamation theory (although there may be jurisdiction problems in bringing a Kansas company into a Georgia court).

Because the federal law allows attorney fees for a successful plaintiff, I would suggest that you consult with an attorney and see if he/she will help you with your claim for only the court awarded attorny fees.
