Legal Answers
- Q. Someone took out a loan in my name, and I'm worried about identity theft consequences with Net Pay Advance.
- A: I would contact one of us Justia consumer protection attorneys that assist consumers with identity theft. You'll want to file a police report and an FTC Fraud Affidavit.
Make sure that any dispute that you have made to Net Pay Advance is in writing and save any correspondence that you send them or that they send you. If the account is also reporting on any of the credit reports, you'll want to dispute it with the credit reporting agencies as well.
- Q. How to report inaccuracies by a background check company based in Spring, TX.
- A: I would contact a consumer protection attorney. You'll want to dispute the inaccurate information that is being reported by that background check company but a consumer protection attorney would likely be able to help you dispute the inaccurate information. I would recommend for you to reach out to one of us Justia consumer protection attorneys to assist with the process as many of us don't charge anything up front for our services and rely on the fee shifting provisions under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
- Q. Are the apartment complex and debt collector liable for a reporting error that impacted my credit?
- A: I would make sure to dispute it directly with the credit bureaus as well. I would contact a consumer protection attorney familiar with the Fair Credit Reporting Act to discuss potential liability. It's tough to say at this point but happy to answer other questions.
