Consumer Laws That Protect You


Several federal laws safeguard your credit rights:

  • Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA): requires accurate reporting, limits negative info, gives you the right to dispute.

  • Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA): prevents harassment & unfair practices by debt collectors.

  • Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA): protects against billing errors on credit cards.

  • Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA): prohibits discrimination in lending.

  • Bankruptcy Code: governs how accounts included in bankruptcy must be reported.
