💨 Abstract

Bianca Jones, a special education teacher, faced difficulties buying a house due to a credit reporting error. Her student debt was double-counted, making it seem she owed $250,000. Despite multiple disputes with Experian, the issue persisted until she involved the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB helped her correct her record and successfully sue Experian, allowing her to purchase a house.
