The Statute of Limitations for an action under Fair Credit Reporting Act is as follows: An action must be filed two years after plaintiff discovers the violation or five years after the violation occurs, whichever is earlier.
But you should note that every time a potential credit grantor pulls your credit report and you are either declined credit or charged a higher rate of interest because of a derogatory item on it, the statute of limitations is renewed.See 15 U.S.C. § 1681p
If you have been the victim of identity theft or if you have discovered that something improper is on your credit report, you must act.
