FCRA Expert Robert Sola Interview: A Revealing Look at Why Consumers Sue the Credit Bureaus

On SpotLight this week, we had the opportunity to interview Robert Sola. He is one of the very few FCRA experts who represents consumers who can't get their credit reports corrected.

He has been litigating cases under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA) for 13 years. His success in going to trial against the credit reporting agencies is unique. He has obtained the largest verdicts on record against each of the three national agencies: Trans Union, Equifax and Experian. He has also obtained large settlements in those cases that did not go to trial.

In our interview Robert Sola, discusses the rights consumers have under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and talks about some of the largest problems within the credit reporting industry.

He also talks about what actions consumers can take to correct inaccurate credit reporting and how they can protect their rights in the event they need to seek legal remedies. This interview has a wealth of information and should be listened to by consumers, advocates and attorneys who want to understand a consumer's rights under the FCRA.

The interview runs about 90 minutes.
