Are there items on your credit report that don’t belong to you?
Identity theft is, unfortunately, a common occurrence.
Again and again, the news reports a security breach at a major company that leaves consumers struggling with a stolen identity, ruined credit, and an inaccurate credit report.

If they refuse to do so, you may have a claim under the FCRA for cash damages, actual damages or even punitive damages.It is estimated that over 500 million incidents of identity theft occur annually in the United States. Data breaches at big businesses like Equifax can put your credit at risk. If you credit report contains items that are not yours, contact FCA to see if we can help.
