Legal Answers
23 Questions Answered
- Q. Are the apartment complex and debt collector liable for a reporting error that impacted my credit?
- A: I would make sure to dispute it directly with the credit bureaus as well. I would contact a consumer protection attorney familiar with the Fair Credit Reporting Act to discuss potential liability. It's tough to say at this point but happy to answer other questions.
- Q. Can I sue an Ohio dealership for unauthorized credit check?
- A: Contact a consumer protection attorney familiar with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It's tough to say without knowing all the details. If you haven't done so, I would also dispute the hard inquiry on whatever credit report is showing the hard inquiry.
- Q. Can my husband remove me from home, or can I remove his girlfriend? (MA)
- A: My answer is only directed towards her taking out a cable bill and other debt in your name. I will let someone else address the other issues raised. You can file a police report and a FTC Fraud Affidavit detailing that these accounts were not taken out by you. From there, you'll want to dispute the information with the credit reporting agencies reporting the accounts that you did not take out. You can also contact a consumer protection attorney to discuss the cable bill and debts being taken out in your name. Let me know if you have any other questions.
