Abstract: The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) was enacted in 1970 based on a Congressional finding that the banking system is dependent on fair and accurate credit reporting. The FCRA was enacted to ensure consumer reporting agencies exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer’s right to privacy. The FCRA requires consumer reporting agencies to adopt reasonable procedures that are fair and equitable to the consumer with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of consumer information. Congress substantially amended the FCRA upon the passage of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act). The FACT Act created many new responsibilities for consumer reporting agencies and users of consumer reports. It contained many new consumer disclosure requirements, as well as provisions to address identity theft. In addition, the FACT Act provided consumers with the right to obtain a copy of their consumer report annually without cost. Improving consumers’ access to their credit report is intended to help increase the accuracy of data in the consumer reporting system. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, enacted in 2010, transferred most, but not all, FCRA rulemaking authority to the CFPB. However, rulemaking responsibility for provisions regarding the disposal of consumer information, identity theft prevention programs (“red flags”), and the duties of card issuers regarding changes of address were not transferred CFPB and responsibility for these provisions remained with the Federal Reserve and other federal agencies. On December 21, 2011, the CFPB published an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation V. The Federal Reserve’s FCRA regulations are contained in the Federal Reserve’s Regulation V.
