Avantus is a supplemental credit reporting agency that provides consumer reports for the mortgage lending industry.
When you apply for a mortgage, the lender will order credit history in order to evaluate the risk of proving you with a loan. Many times the credit reports are Tri-Merged or some other type of merged credit report. This means that the report the lender will get will contain your credit information that is reported to the three large credit bureaus, TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax, all in one report.
Sadly, errors on credit reports are very common. When it comes to these specialty reports for the mortgage lending industry, errors on an Avantus credit report can result in denial of a home mortgage.
Common Credit Report Errors
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you have the right to dispute errors on your Avantus credit report or any other consumer report. Once you file a dispute, Avantus will have 30 days to investigate the error and correct any mistakes.
If you were denied a home loan due to inaccurate information on your Avantus credit report, you may be able to sue in Federal court and recover damages.
