What Is MicroBilt / PRBC?
MicroBilt is a consumer reporting agency that provides credit information and risk assessments to lenders and other businesses. Its reports can include information that may not appear on traditional credit reports from Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion.
MicroBilt collects alternative financial information, including certain loan repayment histories and recurring payments such as rent, utilities, and phone bills. Lenders may use this information when evaluating applications for short-term loans, installment loans, auto financing, and other forms of credit.
PRBC is a name associated with MicroBilt’s consumer reporting services. If you see either name on a lending notice or consumer report, the information may have been provided through MicroBilt.
While these reports can help lenders evaluate applicants, inaccurate information can lead to unfair lending decisions.
Common Reporting Errors
Errors in a MicroBilt consumer report can affect how lenders evaluate your financial history. Examples of potential inaccuracies include:
- Loans that don’t belong to you: Accounts incorrectly associated with your identity or opened fraudulently in your name.
- Incorrect payment histories: Payments reported as late or missed when they were made on time.
- Paid-off loans showing balances: Accounts that continue to appear unpaid after the debt has been satisfied.
- Duplicate accounts or debts: The same obligation appearing more than once, potentially making your debt burden look higher than it is.
- Incorrect personal information: Errors that cause another consumer’s financial information to become associated with your report.
When lenders rely on inaccurate information, you could be denied credit or offered less favorable loan terms.
Did a MicroBilt Reporting Error Cause You Financial Harm?
Being denied a loan is frustrating enough. Learning that the decision may have been based on information that wasn’t even accurate makes the situation worse.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy and reasonably investigate qualifying disputes.
If MicroBilt reported inaccurate information about you, you may have grounds for legal action. A failure to properly investigate or correct an error after a dispute may also give rise to a claim.
Can You Sue MicroBilt for Inaccurate Credit Reporting?
Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to pursue a claim against MicroBilt under the FCRA.
A potential case may involve:
- Inaccurate information appearing in your MicroBilt or PRBC consumer report.
- A loan denial or unfavorable lending terms caused by inaccurate reporting.
- Another consumer’s financial information appearing in your report.
- A failure to reasonably investigate or correct inaccurate information after a dispute.
The FCRA allows consumers to recover damages for certain violations. Whether you have a claim depends on the facts of your situation.
