Data furnishers must keep up with frequent changes to the rules and the format for reporting account and consumer information. Whether you report to one or all four national credit reporting agencies, you must follow the FCRA, its FACTA amendment and CFPB standards.
This 60-minute Metro 2 and e-OSCAR webinar helps you build credit reporting policies and procedures that comply with federal rules. It covers the pros and cons of the Metro and Metro 2 formats, e-OSCAR and the ACDV dispute system, reporting bankruptcies and disputed accounts, and handling identity theft claims under FACTA Section 312 and the Red Flag guidelines.
You'll also review updates to the Credit Reporting Resource Guide, whether to report to more than one agency, and why to run quality checks on reported data.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Most credit reporting disputes are resolved through e-OSCAR and ACDV, and recent updates affect furnishers' legal obligations. Reporting errors can be costly for a financial institution.
This session helps compliance officers, lenders, operations staff, branch managers, customer service reps, risk officers, collectors, auditors, trainers and anyone handling consumer credit information understand their legal risk and fix problems efficiently.
