Which of the following can be a result of violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act?

Monetary damages can be a result of violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The FCRA is designed to ensure the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information contained in the files of consumer reporting agencies. When an individual or entity violates this act, affected consumers have the right to seek compensation for any damages incurred due to such violations. This may include actual damages, punitive damages, and in some cases, the payment of attorney fees and costs associated with the legal process. The law provides this ability to hold parties accountable, thus encouraging compliance with the regulations set forth to protect consumers’ rights regarding their credit information.
