Duplicate Debt
If you find erroneous information in your credit report, then it’s your right to have it removed. Otherwise, you may get unjustly blacklisted from receiving more loans or credit facilities. Consumers with inaccurate credit reports may also have to pay much more interest over their credit history. Several occasions may result in people having duplicate debt reports on their credit history. If you find a double debt entry in your credit records, one of these scenarios may be liable:
- Duplicate reporting by a Creditor and Collection Agency
- Duplicate Collection accounts for the same bill
- Co-Mingled Credit Reports
The impact of a duplicate—or multiple times repeat of—debt reports could be life-changing. Moreover, credit reporting inaccuracies could prevent you from getting a dream job or making some significant life movement. If you discover these credit reporting inaccuracies, then we think you need an experienced FCRA attorney.

About Us
What Sets McCarty & Raburn Apart
The three major credit reporting agencies produce credit reports and scores based on the information in a consumer’s credit file. Sometimes, information not belonging to you may appear on your credit report. This inaccurate information could include credit applications or denials not belonging to you, or the information could be more personal in nature, such as an inaccurate social security number or date of birth. Additionally, you might see collection accounts or credit cards on your credit report that do not belong to you. Inaccurate information appearing on your credit report could imply an identity theft issue or that the consumer’s file has been mixed with that of another person. File mixing occurs when information that should appear on one consumer’s credit file is erroneously placed on the credit file of another consumer. Unfortunately, file mixing issues can be very difficult to correct and more common than you might think. One credit reporter estimates that up to six million Americans have mixed credit files.
It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of your credit report. You can do this by checking your credit report regularly. If you notice inaccurate information on your credit report, you should consider hiring an attorney. Consumers that have suffered damages because of a mixed credit file, have the right to make a claim for damages in Federal Court. Our law firm can help. With a combined 37 years of experience, our attorneys at McCarty & Raburn, A Consumer Law Firm, PLLC, have successfully represented victims of credit reporting errors.
