Deadwrong Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 If a dispute is filed directly with the CRA's are the OC's who are being disputed required to mark the accts on the CR as in dispute? And if so, how long from when dispute is submitted do they have to update the accts as being in dispute?

If you inform the OC directly that they are reporting incorrect information, they may not furnish any information to the CRA without that dispute which means that if they respond to a CRA reinvestigation, they have to include that notice.

Deadwrong Posted May 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 I followed you right up until this last part. Are you saying that if I reinvestigate with the CRA they have to mark it as in dispute? Or do I have to contact them in regards to the debt first, then dispute with the CRA? <blockquote>Originally posted by Swedewhich means that if they respond to a CRA reinvestigation, they have to include that notice.</blockquote> [Edit by Deadwrong on Tuesday, May 13, 2003 @ 05:21 AM] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [15 U.S.C. § 1681s-2(3) Duty to provide notice of dispute. If the completeness or accuracy of any information furnished by any person to any consumer reporting agency is disputed to such person by a consumer, the person may not furnish the information to any consumer reporting agency without notice that such information is disputed by the consumer.
