Navigating the complexities of credit and background reports is challenging, especially when errors occur. RealPage, a company providing software and data analytics to the real estate industry, is involved in legal scrutiny for report inaccuracies that have led to denials of housing or employment. If you’ve suffered from such inaccuracies, understanding your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is crucial. At Jaffer & Associates, we specialize in FCRA cases and are committed to helping clients correct their reports and seek compensation for any damages incurred.
Understanding RealPage and the Impact of Report Errors:
RealPage offers services that include background checks and credit reporting, primarily for rental housing applications. Errors in these reports, such as incorrect criminal records or credit information, can unjustly disqualify individuals from housing opportunities or employment. These inaccuracies can have far-reaching and devastating effects on one’s life.
Your Rights Under the FCRA:
The FCRA governs the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer information, including credit and background reports. Under this act, you have rights that protect you from the consequences of erroneous reporting:
- Accuracy of Information: Consumer reporting agencies must ensure the information they report is accurate and complete.
- Dispute Rights: You have the right to dispute incorrect or incomplete information in your report. The agency must investigate and rectify errors within a specified timeframe.
- Notification: Employers or landlords must notify you if a decision against you is based on a credit or background report, giving you a chance to correct any inaccuracies.
