Consumer credit law reference
Alabama Credit Dispute Laws
Alabama has no dedicated credit-services-organization statute, so consumers rely on the federal FCRA plus the state's Deceptive Trade Practices Act to challenge inaccurate tradelines.
Primary state statute
Alabama Deceptive Trade Practices Act
Ala. Code § 8-19-1 et seq.
Regulator: Alabama Attorney General — Consumer Protection
What Alabama adds on top of the federal FCRA
- •Federal FCRA 30-day reinvestigation window applies
- •State DTPA private right of action for deceptive collection practices
- •AG consumer complaint intake
