You are having problems with checks due to a CrossCheck error

CrossCheck errors can cause problems with checks. Consumer Attorneys can help you fix them.

Discover the legal recourse available if your check was denied, as Consumer Attorneys highlights potential grounds for a lawsuit against CrossCheck. Learn about the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and your rights to financial compensation if CrossCheck violated them. While CrossCheck doesn't have the authority to dictate check approval, errors in credit reports, managed by CrossCheck as a credit reporting agency, can lead to denials. Explore the steps to address false information, including filing disputes and pursuing legal action if necessary.

When you use checks as payment at any given business, the information that supports those checks becomes embedded in huge database systems. Check verification services/credit reporting agencies such as CrossCheck use the information in those database systems. CrossCheck, like all check verification services, partners with merchants or other businesses who want consumers' checks to be scrutinized for their integrity.

Two things occur when a consumer uses a check as payment: 1) the check verification service verifies the legitimacy of the check and 2) the check verification service may authenticate the check account holder’s history. This ensures that potentially closed accounts, fraud, and other concerns are discovered before a check is accepted.

Was Your Check Denied? You May Be Able to Sue

The denial of a check, in and of itself, does not constitute a lawsuit. Rather, it is the reasons behind the denial that can raise legal concerns. If CrossCheck violated your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you have the right to sue, which would include the pursuit of financial compensations – enter Consumer Attorneys

If your check was denied, you might wonder, “Why?” As part of CrossChecks' compliance with the FCRA, CrossCheck does not have the legal authority to tell a merchant it should deny or approve a check-cashing transaction. It is the merchant that has the final say whether or not a check will be cashed.

But the bottom line remains: what caused the check's denial? CrossCheck's role as a credit reporting agency means it operates in an arena with a reputation for errors embedded in consumers' credit reports. If your check was denied, it could be due to false information on your CrossCheck credit report.

Errors on these types of reports cover the spectrum, from files with identical names mistakenly merged and outdated information to identity theft and incorrect criminal background checks.

If false information is on your CrossCheck's credit report, you could experience a credit score drop. That alone could lead to the denial of opening a new line of credit, being rejected for a mortgage or car loan, and more. False and damaging information should be remedied as quickly as possible, and Consumer Attorneys is here to help!

If you filed a dispute with CrossCheck and they failed to correct errors on your credit report in a timely or responsible manner in accordance with FCRA guidelines, you have the right to sue!
