If a consumer disputes the accuracy of any information in the files of a reporting agency which relates to him or her, and the reporting agency is made aware of the dispute by him or her, the reporting agency shall, within 5 business days after becoming aware of the dispute, notify any institutional sources of the information and, as soon as is reasonably possible but not later than 30 days, complete a reinvestigation of the accuracy of the information unless the dispute is determined by the reporting agency to be frivolous or irrelevant.

(a) The person furnishing the information uses reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information; and
