FTC Releases Guidelines
on the Fair Credit Reporting Act |
The
Federal Trade Commission has issued a staff report
with interpretations of the Fair Credit Reporting
Act (FCRA), a 40-year-old law designed to protect
the privacy of credit report information and ensure
that the information supplied by credit reporting
agencies is as accurate as possible. The law has
been interpreted to apply to private investigators
and other professions which perform background
investigations.
The new staff report, entitled "Forty
Years of Experience with the Fair Credit Reporting
Act: An FTC Staff Report and Summary of
Interpretations," provides an overview of the
FTC’s role in enforcing and interpreting the FCRA
and includes a section-by-section summary of the
agency’s interpretations of the Act. Investigative
and security professionals should take time to gain
some insight into this agency's viewpoints which can
greatly impact our profession.
Since the FTC’s last commentary on the law in 1990,
the FCRA has been updated several times, most
significantly by the Consumer Credit Reporting
Reform Act of 1996 and the Fair and Accurate Credit
Transactions Act of 2003, known as the FACT Act.
Both updates expanded the FCRA's provisions. Recent
legislation has transferred the authority to issue
interpretive guidance under the FCRA to the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
The Chapter would like to thank Bruce Hulme,
Legislative Liaison and Board Member, for keeping us
all up to date regarding this and other important
legal and regulatory developments which affect our
industry. Bruce is the Director of Government
Affairs for
Investigative and Security Professionals for
Legislative Action (ISPLA).
