CFPB: No Hiding Behind a Computer’s Mistakes
The CFPB says that the Texas-based First Investors Financial Services Group Inc. distorted consumer credit records for years. The company was aware of flaws in their computer system that resulted in inaccurate information being provided to the credit reporting agencies. This action makes clear that computer system or vendor mistakes are not valid excuses for submitting incorrect information to the credit reporting agencies. [8/21/14]
