    Butch,

    The opinion letters dealt with Section 605(a)(4): Section 605(c) of the FCRA which is located here: http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcra.pdf

    and look at section 807(8) of the FDCPA,thats the section about furnishing false information to others concerning a debt.

    Butch, Hope this helps. Please keep me in the loop on this one, I just had a CA do this to me and am fighting it now.

    Had a TL with DLA of 11/95.

    Suddenly, in 8/02 it disappears. Consistant with the CRA's policy of removing TL's 6 years and 9 months, as opposed to the full 7 years from the DLA.

    1 month later it reappears with a new DLA, now 2/96. Interestingly, exactly 90 dyas later. Obviously to make up for their systems default deletion setting of 6 yrs. 9 mos. This is their biggest mistake.

    Oh I'm PISSED.

    I think it was the CRA not the OC that "fixed" the date as a punishment for filing a dispute on an unrelated TL.

    I'm organizing for a Federal Suit for 5 Million Dollars.

    (yeah right)

    lol
