Know Your Rights Under Federal Consumer Protection Laws

Millions of consumers are misled, harassed, or taken advantage of by credit bureaus, debt collectors, and lenders who fail to follow federal credit laws. If you’ve ever:

  • Received collection calls at odd hours
  • Found inaccurate information on your credit report
  • Been denied credit due to errors
  • Been threatened by a debt collector

Then you may have legal protections under the FCRA and FDCPA that allow you to dispute, challenge, or even sue for damages.

At Credit1Solutions.com, we enforce these rights for consumers, ensuring that credit bureaus, creditors, and collectors follow the law.

 

What is the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)?

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law designed to protect consumers from inaccurate, unfair, or outdated credit reporting. It holds credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) and creditors accountable for how they report financial data.

Your Rights Under the FCRA

  • Right to dispute inaccurate credit report items
  • Right to a fair investigation within 30 days
  • Right to be notified if credit is denied due to your credit report
  • Right to remove outdated negative information (7-10 years)
  • Right to sue credit bureaus for non-compliance

If a credit bureau fails to correct an error, they can be held legally responsible—you may be entitled to financial compensation.

At Credit1Solutions.com, we use legal-backed strategies to dispute and remove incorrect credit data under FCRA regulations.

 

What is the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)?

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects consumers from abusive and deceptive debt collection practices. If you are being harassed by a debt collector, you have the right to fight back legally.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

  • Debt collectors cannot harass or threaten you
  • They cannot call before 8 AM or after 9 PM
  • They must provide written proof of a debt upon request
  • You can dispute a debt before making any payments
  • Debt collectors cannot discuss your debt with others

If a debt collector violates the FDCPA, you have the right to sue them for damages, and they may be forced to pay YOU money.

 

How to Enforce Your Rights Under the FCRA & FDCPA

Step 1: Get Your Credit Report

You are entitled to one free credit report per year from each bureau via AnnualCreditReport.com.

Step 2: Identify Violations

  • Look for incorrect credit report data (wrong accounts, incorrect balances, unauthorized inquiries).
  • Document any harassment or illegal debt collection tactics.

Step 3: Take Action

  • Dispute inaccurate credit report items directly with credit bureaus under FCRA protections.
  • Send a cease-and-desist letter to stop illegal debt collector harassment.
  • If violations persist, escalate to legal action.

At Credit1Solutions.com, we fight on your behalf to hold credit bureaus, creditors, and collectors accountable for any violations of consumer protection laws.

 

What to Do If a Creditor or Collector Violates Your Rights

If a creditor, credit bureau, or debt collector violates the FCRA or FDCPA, you may have the right to:

  • Request immediate correction of your credit report
  • File a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
  • Sue the company for damages

At Credit1Solutions.com, we don’t just dispute credit report errors—we enforce consumer rights under the law.
