Well, how did the CRA (Credit Reporting Agency - that's how it is defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act) respond?

Essentially, in an FCRA case, you file a dispute with the CRAs, which triggers a duty to investigate your claim. The fault could then be with either the CRA (which failed to adequately investigate) or with the reporting creditor.

The FCRA has a "fee shifting" statute, that allows your attorney to be paid, even if all you receive is the $1,000.00 statutory minimum.
