Fair Credit Reporting Act
As a public service, The Center For Debt Management posts this version of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. prepared by the Federal Trade Commission. This version uses FCRA section numbers (§§ 601-629) in the headings (The relevant U.S. Code citation is included with each section heading and each reference to the FCRA in the text.) This document is intended only as a convenience for you and not a substitute for the actual text in the U. S. Code. The Commission’s website posted this document on October 20, 2006.
This version includes the amendments to the FCRA set forth in the Consumer Credit Reporting Reform Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-208, the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1997, Title II, Subtitle D, Chapter 1), Section 311 of the Intelligence Authorization for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-107), the Consumer Reporting Employment Clarification Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-347), Section 506 of the Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act (Public Law 106-102), Sections 358(g) and 505(c) of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act) (Public Law 107-56), and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act) (Public Law 108-159). Many of the provisions added by the FACT Act will become effective at different times depending on the results of rulemaking proceedings announced by the Federal Trade Commission and other regulatory agencies.
