- Compare the proposed tradeline with the ledger and list any item the lawyer has marked as disputed, inaccurate, or missing a date of delinquency. Do not decide to furnish.
- What the lawyer must review
- 15 U.S.C. § 1681s-2(a)(1)(A) says a person shall not furnish information about a consumer to a consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe the information is inaccurate. Reasonable cause is defined in that section and is more than the consumer's allegation alone. Paragraph (a)(1)(B) restricts furnishing after a consumer notifies the furnisher that specific information is inaccurate. If accuracy is disputed to the furnisher, § 1681s-2(a)(3) requires notice of the dispute. You decide whether the firm is a furnisher and whether the item may be sent.
