How Can I Learn More About Credit And The Law ?

The federal government maintains several informative World Wide Web sites with lots of information about consumer credit issues.
These two relate to the FCRA specifically:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/fcra.htm (summarizes the law)
http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcra.htm (gives the actual text of the law)

How Errors Occur on Your FICO Score

When a credit report contains errors, it is often because the report
is incomplete, or contains information about someone else.
This typically happens because:
- The person applied for credit under a different name
- Someone made a clerical error in reading or entering a name
or address information from an application
- The person gave an inaccurate Social Security Number,
or the number was misread by the creditor
- Loan or credit card payments were inadvertently
applied to the wrong account

How to improve your credit score ?

- Eliminate any negative items. Negative items are score killers on your credit report
- Pay down any credit card with a balance of more than 50 % of the overall credit line.
- If you have a limited budget don’t bother allocating resources to any accounts which have a charge-off at this point unless you
can negotiate what credit pros call “payment for deletion”, where the creditor agrees to mark your credit report positive after receiving
the money.
- Don’t start just closing credit accounts randomly. If you need expert consultation on this or any point, go get it.
