Credit Reports Should Reflect Reality—Not Mistakes
For many in Los Angeles, credit reports hold the key to major life milestones: buying a home, securing a car loan, or even landing a job. So when those reports contain false or outdated information, the consequences can be immediate and serious. At Martin & Bontrager, APC, we represent individuals who are dealing with credit reporting errors that just won’t go away.
Even small inaccuracies can lead to denials, higher interest rates, or damage to your reputation. And when credit bureaus don’t respond to your disputes, frustration turns into legal grounds for action.
Common Credit Report Disputes
Credit report errors come in many forms: duplicate accounts, incorrect balances, payments marked late when they were made on time, or accounts that don’t belong to you at all. Sometimes, the issue stems from identity theft. Other times, it’s due to careless reporting by creditors or flawed data handling by credit bureaus.
Whatever the cause, these errors are not your fault—and they shouldn’t be your burden to carry alone.
Why Disputes Often Fall Short
Consumers have the right to file disputes with the credit bureaus. But what many find is that those disputes are handled by automated systems, rubber-stamped as “verified,” and closed without a proper investigation. When that happens, legal intervention is often the only way to force real change.
Martin & Bontrager, APC steps in when credit bureaus and data furnishers fail to uphold their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We fight to have false information corrected or removed and pursue compensation for any harm caused.
