Circuit Momentum Builds for Furnisher-Friendly FCRA Standard
By Claire E. Monroe, Pilgrim Christakis LLP
An emerging multi-circuit consensus requires that information disputed under section 1681s-2(b) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) be “objectively and readily verifiable” as inaccurate. With the Tenth Circuit’s decision in Ward v. National Credit Systems, Inc., 182 F.4th 918 (10th Cir. 2026), five federal circuits have now adopted this standard, insulating furnishers from disputes that demand complex fact-gathering, credibility determinations, or resolution of unsettled legal questions.
