If a customer calls our bank to report an inaccuracy on a loan they have with us. Are we obligated to investigate? The direct dispute FCRA section 1022.43(c) refers to the customer submitting a “notice” but does not define notice that I can find. It also requires documentation from the customer to support the dispute. If the customer does not come in and complete a form/provide the support. What is the bank’s obligation at this point?
You are only obligated to investigate the dispute if you receive a notice (as detailed in 1022.43) at either the address you specify or, if you don’t specify an address, any address of your financial institution.
