Phase 02 — Credit / FCRA (Print Section)

Purpose

Create a court-usable, regulator-usable, and settlement-ready record showing:

  1. inaccurate furnishing by FCFCU,
  2. failed reinvestigations (Experian/Equifax/TransUnion),
  3. specific opportunities blocked (housing, cards, loans, business credit),
  4. month-by-month damages from August through February.

  • D_PHASES/02_credit_fcra/*

  • C_VIS/10_violations/FCFCU/* (credit-related)
  • B_EVIDENCE credit report PDFs/screenshots + dispute mail/email proof
  • A_TIMELINE entries documenting denials and “could not obtain credit” events

Outputs (What This Phase produces)

  • Credit Harm Timeline (Aug–Feb)
  • Tradeline Accuracy Matrix (FCFCU vs bureau)
  • Dispute Packet(s): Furnisher + Bureau disputes
  • Damages Ledger: credit_cost + lost_income + lodging/transport knock-ons
  • Remedy Demands: deletion, correction, statutory/actual damages narrative

Definition of Done

  • Every disputed tradeline has: (a) report snapshot, (b) dispute sent proof, (c) response/verification proof, (d) outcome.
  • Every month Aug–Feb has at least one documented “credit harm impact” entry or marked “no event recorded”.
  • At least one regulator-ready packet exists (CFPB) and one litigation-ready packet exists (FCRA claim skeleton).
