of guidelines for use by furnishers
regarding the accuracy and integrity of
the information about consumers that
they furnish to consumer reporting

Furnishers are required to have
procedures to ensure that disputes
received directly from consumers are

through CRAs.
Section 1022.43(f)(2) incorporates the
statutory requirement that a furnisher
must notify a consumer by mail or other
means (if authorized by the consumer)
not later than five business days after
making a determination that a dispute is
frivolous or irrelevant. Section
1022.43(f) incorporates the statute’s
content requirements for the notices.
