Information Statement

CONSUMER RIGHTS UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW.

CONSUMER’S CREDIT FILE RIGHTS UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW. Regarding Credit Bureaus: Consumers have a right to dispute any and all inaccurate information in their credit file by contacting the credit bureaus directly. However, neither the consumer nor any credit repair company nor credit repair organization has the right to have accurate, current, and verifiable information removed from a credit report. The credit bureau must remove negative information from your report only if it is over 7 years old except for a bankruptcy which can be reported for a maximum of 10 years.

As a consumer, you have a right to obtain a copy of your credit report from a credit bureau and may be charged a reasonable fee. There is no fee, however, if you have been turned down for credit, employment, insurance or a rental dwelling because of information in your credit report within the preceding 60 days (30 days for residents of MN, NY, PA, and WV). The credit bureau must provide someone to help you interpret the information in your credit file. You are entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report if you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the next 60 days, if you are a recipient of public welfare assistance, or if you have reason to believe that there is inaccurate information in your credit report due to fraud. Credit bureaus are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate. However, mistakes may and do occur. We do not remove accurate items.

You may, on your own, notify a credit bureau directly in writing that you dispute the accuracy of information in your credit file. The credit bureau must then investigate and modify or remove inaccurate, unverifiable or incomplete information. The credit bureau may not charge any fee for this service. Any pertinent information and copies of all documents you have concerning an error should be submitted to the credit bureau(s) along with any explanation.

If the credit bureau’s investigation does not resolve the dispute to your satisfaction, you may send a brief statement to the credit bureau(s), to be kept in your file, explaining why you think the record is inaccurate. The credit bureau must include a summary of your statement about disputed information with any report it issues about you.

Regarding Credit Services Organizations and Trycera Financial, Inc.: You (“Member”) have a right to sue a company which is registered as a credit repair organization that violates the Credit Repair Organization Act or any corresponding state act (usually called Credit Services Organization Act or Credit Repair Organization Act). This law, as well as the corresponding state laws, prohibits deceptive practices by any credit services organizations.
