- Failing to have adequate policies and controls relating to credit reporting, including furnishing data and processing disputes;
- Deficiencies in reviewing identity theft reports; and
- Failing to properly validate debts prior to collection efforts.
In its press release, the CFPB Acting Director Dave Uejio stresses that the Bureau will pursue claims against companies for the absence of adequate procedures. Review the complaint and settlement for full details.
