Misleading Adverse Action Notice?w
Answer by Andy Zavoina and Richard Insley, BOL Gurus
Question: If an adverse action is for reasons other than information from a reporting agency, would a default statement that "The consumer reporting agency contacted that provided information that influenced our decision in whole or in part was:....." be misleading.
If a CRA was not used, do not mark the box. Otherwise you are sending the customer there in an effort to correct their report when in fact it was not a contributing factor in your decision.

I'd take it a step further and call it a violation.
