Equifax Pays Millions to Settle Illegal Credit Reporting Claims Related to Civil Judgments and Tax Liens

4/22/2019

Equifax recently settled multiple class action lawsuits filed under the Fair Credit Reporting Act alleging it failed to update civil judgments and tax liens. The settlement prohibits Equifax from reporting any civil judgment or tax lien records for five years, with limited exceptions. The settlement also requires Equifax to establish an independent claims program for impacted consumers.

While this is great news for many consumers who had judgments and liens removed from their credit reports, this does not mean that consumers’ credit profiles will be free of errors. Nevada consumers should continue to check their credit reports using www.annualcreditreport.com to ensure the information is accurate and up-to-date. If you find any inaccurate information in your credit report, you should consult with a Las Vegas credit attorney to discuss your rights under federal law.

A good way to improve your credit score is to contact the right repair. Some people erroneously believe that old debt on their credit report is bad and take longer years to get solve which delayed them to get there home and cars because they were trying to removed from their credit report error. I was told Negative items are bad for your credit score and most of them will disappear from your report after seven years not until i came across a private hacker and i got all this error removed within 5 working days. Contact him via email at truthspywear@gmail com or text him +17072293669 or more esquires ASAP.

Firewallbreachexpert at g--- mail dot com is a great service for anyone struggling to overcome bad credit. Items that I had tried to get removed for three years was removed by them in just a matter of days. I never thought I would get over the hump of having a 510 credit score, but after using their services, my credit score soared to 788 in less than a week. I wasn't expecting negative items i had to come off as fast as they did. Absolutely awesome service. You have to trust that they'll do their job because they will!

I purchased the DIY credit repair e-book because I was getting the run around from other companies but all to no avail, I am a working mother of two and my starting FICO score was 540 until i was introduced to creditsmartspy whom after 5 days it went up to 715 then after 4 weeks he got it to 720-740. Thanks to CREDITSMARTSPY @ gmail dot com +1(305)-912-6941 for his help and for paying attention to me.
