FORT LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / April 23, 2025 / Consumers across Florida are taking a stand against inaccurate credit reporting-and leading that charge is The Law Offices of Jibrael S. Hindi, a Fort Lauderdale-based firm with a strong record of defending individual rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
A single error on a credit report can result in a loan denial, higher interest rates, or even the loss of a job opportunity. These inaccuracies often go unnoticed until it's too late, but according to fair credit reporting act lawyers Jibrael S. Hindi, consumers don't have to suffer in silence.
"Credit report errors can have devastating consequences," said Hindi. "The Fair Credit Reporting Act exists to protect individuals from these mistakes, and we're here to make sure that protection is enforced."
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law that ensures the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information contained in the files of credit reporting agencies. Under this law, consumers have the right to dispute incorrect information, and credit bureaus are required to investigate and correct inaccuracies within 30 days.
Unfortunately, credit reporting agencies and data furnishers-like lenders and debt collectors-don't always comply with these obligations. This is where the legal expertise of an FCRA attorney becomes critical.
At The Law Offices of Jibrael S. Hindi, FCRA Attorney takes a comprehensive approach to each case. They begin by meticulously reviewing clients' credit reports from the three major bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. From there, they identify any inaccurate, outdated, or fraudulent entries-ranging from incorrect balances and duplicated accounts to identity theft-related issues.
"If we find a violation, we don't just send a generic dispute letter," said Hindi. "We draft a legal demand backed by the FCRA and follow through with litigation if necessary. We hold credit bureaus and data furnishers accountable when they fail to do their job."
Hindi's firm not only focuses on correcting credit reports but also seeks compensation for clients who have suffered harm. Under the FCRA, consumers can recover statutory damages of up to $1,000 per violation, as well as actual damages related to credit denials, lost opportunities, and emotional distress. In cases of willful noncompliance, punitive damages may also be pursued.
"Most of our FCRA clients are shocked to learn that they could be entitled to compensation," added Hindi. "It's not just about fixing your report-it's about justice."
The firm's services are especially timely given the increasing reports of identity theft and automated data errors. More consumers are relying on their credit to secure homes, cars, and employment-making accurate credit reporting more critical than ever.
Best of all, many FCRA cases can be taken on a contingency basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.
"Too often, consumers feel powerless against big corporations and bureaucracies," said Hindi. "Our mission is to give that power back. Your credit report tells a story about you-and we want to make sure it tells the truth."
The Law Offices of Jibrael S. Hindi serves clients throughout Florida and offers free consultations for individuals concerned about credit reporting errors. The firm encourages anyone facing difficulty due to inaccuracies on their credit report to seek professional legal guidance without delay.
