Correct!

Answer: D. The FCRA does not provide a time restriction relating to how long a consumer has to initiate a dispute. Accordingly, the best practice is generally to open a dispute and conduct a reinvestigation whenever a consumer raises a dispute. That being said, it is essential to have good communication with your end-user so that it understands the consumer may have recently moved to expunge or changed a record; but that at the time of the initial report, the record was current public record at the time.

A. One Month
B. Three Months
C. Twelve Months
