GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - North Central Florida Rep. Al Lawson is introducing a bill aimed at fixing errors on credit reports.
The legislation would repeal parts of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Lawson says are outdated.
In a written statement, Lawson says the current law allows credit reporting agencies to ignore any communications sent by a credit repair organization.
Lawson says changing these rules will make it easier to fix mistakes.
