CALIFORNIA INFORMATION STATEMENT
- CONSUMER CREDIT FILE RIGHTS UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW

However, neither you nor any credit repair company or credit services organization has the right to have accurate, current, and verifiable information removed from your credit report. Under the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, the consumer credit reporting agency must remove accurate, negative information from your report only if it is over seven (7) years old. Bankruptcy information can be reported for ten (10) years.
- You have a right to obtain a copy of your credit file from a consumer credit reporting agency. You may be charged a reasonable fee, not exceeding eight dollars ($8). However, there is no fee if you have been turned down for credit, employment, insurance, or a rental dwelling because of information in your credit report within the preceding sixty (60) days. The consumer credit reporting agency must provide someone to help you interpret the information in your credit file.
- You have a right to sue a credit repair organization that violates the Credit Repair Organization Act. This law prohibits deceptive practices by credit repair organizations.
- You have the right to cancel your Contract with any credit repair organization for any reason within five (5) business days from the date you signed it.
- Credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate. However, mistakes may occur.
- If you have notified a credit reporting agency in writing that you dispute the accuracy of the information in your credit file, the consumer credit reporting agency must then reinvestigate and modify or remove inaccurate information. The consumer credit reporting agency may not charge a fee for this service. Any pertinent information and copies of all documents you have concerning an error should be given to the consumer credit reporting agency.
- If a reinvestigation does not resolve the dispute to your satisfaction, you may send a brief statement to the consumer credit reporting agency to keep in your file, explaining why you think the record is inaccurate. The consumer credit reporting agency must include your statement about disputed information in any report it issues about you.
- The credit reporting agency must include a summary of your statement about disputed information with any report it issues about you.
- The Federal Trade Commission regulates credit reporting agencies and credit repair organizations. For more information, contact:
