Re: fair credit reporting

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act you can sue for damages for reporting of wrongful information. You are entitled to your actual damages plus statutory damages of $500 and your attorney fees. Your actual damages is the amount of money which the wrongful posting actually cost you. Please call my office for a free consultation about this matter.
