Your legal rights when AI algorithms make credit decisions

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) require lenders to provide key principal reasons for adverse credit decisions.

Automated algorithms frequently rely on outdated, incorrect, or mismatched credit bureau data that you can challenge and correct.

The protocol

  1. Obtain your official free credit reports from AnnualCreditReport.com following any denial.
  2. Identify inaccurate credit entries, outdated balances, or fraudulent accounts.
  3. Send a formal FCRA adverse action appeal letter to the lender demanding principal denial reasons.
  4. File formal disputes with credit bureaus for any incorrect data identified.
