Fixing a credit report error

Under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, you can dispute an error with the credit bureau and the company that reported it, and they generally have 30 days to investigate. If an error isn't corrected, you may be able to sue, and the law lets you recover attorney fees.

Other complaint types in Hawaii

Source: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's public Consumer Complaint Database, loaded November 9, 2026. “Last 12 months” means complaints received since November 9, 2025. The CFPB publishes a complaint after the company responds or after 15 days. It doesn't verify every fact in a complaint, so a complaint isn't a finding that a company did anything wrong. Larger companies with more customers tend to get more complaints, and since 2023 a large share of filings have been credit-report disputes. Product categories are grouped from the CFPB's own, which have been renamed over the years.
