What can happen to you if u report false information in a paid survey?

Question

I have been filling out paid surveys for awhile and I don't qualify for most of them because most highly paid ones ask if you have diabetes, hypertension, or cancer. For you to qualify, you need to have some of these illnesses, so what happens if you say you have diabetes when you really don't have in a paid survey? Can they take any legal action or sue against you?

I would also want to add, how would they find out you are giving false information?

Answer 1

Yes, they can. They can sue you for breach of contract among other things. They can also be awarded both general and special damages.

Answer 2

The easiest way to fix this quickly is to dispute this with the repository reporting the bill. Typically, creditors such as medical centers don't post anything to your credit report unless it is something bad. Then, we the bill is paid, they typically don't report it paid. When you dispute a bill, the repository sends a letter to the creditor. If the creditor reports back that it was paid, then the report is updated. If the creditor doesn't report back, then the credit line gets removed. If the creditor reports back that it wasn't paid, then you'll need to spend time looking up proof of payment. Here's how you write the letter: Date Your name Your address Your Social Security number To whom it may concern, Account number xxx is incorrectly reported as not being paid. Because it has been paid, please update the report or remove the credit line. Respectfully, Your signature Include a copy of your driver's license for identification. The process takes about 30-45 days to complete once your have mailed your letter.
