§1681g Disclosures to consumers
Title 15 › Chapter CHAPTER 41— - CONSUMER CREDIT PROTECTION › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER III— - CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES › § 1681g
Summary
Consumer credit reporting companies must give you a clear copy of everything in your file when you ask. They must leave out the first 5 digits of your Social Security number if you ask and prove your identity. They do not have to include credit or risk scores in that file copy unless you ask for a score. The report must show where each item came from (with a narrow exception for some investigative files), who asked for a report about you (for jobs in the past 2 years and for other purposes in the past 1 year; names and, if you ask, addresses and phone numbers), the dates, payees, and amounts of any checks that led to negative entries, and a record of unsolicited credit or insurance inquiries in the past year. If you asked for the file but not a score, they must tell you that you can request your credit score. The federal consumer bureau will make a short "summary of rights" that the agency must give you with every written file disclosure, plus contact info, a list of federal enforcement agencies, a note that you may have extra state rights, and a statement that accurate negative information will not be removed unless it is outdated or cannot be verified. If you say you are an identity-theft victim, the bureau will make a model summary of identity-theft rights, and 60 days after that model is final, credit agencies must give that summary and how to contact the bureau. A business that handled credit, payments, goods, or services used by someone who stole your identity must give you copies of applications and records showing the fraudulent transactions within 30 days after you make a written request and prove your identity and the theft (for example with ID and a police report or a signed affidavit). The request must be written and may ask for transaction details; the records must be free. A business can refuse in limited, good-faith situations. Disclosures made in good faith under these rules are protected from liability, and businesses are not forced to keep records they do not already keep. The identity-theft rules took effect 180 days after December 4, 2003, and the Comptroller General had to report on how well they work 18 months after that date. If you ask for a credit score, the agency must also give you a notice with your current or most recent score, the score range, the date, the name of who provided the score, and up to 4 key reasons that hurt your score (inquiries can be listed without that 4-item limit). Agencies do not have to create or keep scores they do not already have, and mortgage lenders using scores for 1- to 4-unit home loans must give the same score info and a special notice. Any contract term that tries to stop disclosure of a credit score is void.

(9) Rule of construction (A) In general No provision of subtitle A of title V of Public Law 106–102 [15 U.S.C. 6801 et seq.], prohibiting the disclosure of financial information by a business entity to third parties shall be used to deny disclosure of information to the victim under this subsection.

(3) Timeframe and manner of disclosure The information required by this subsection shall be provided in the same timeframe and manner as the information described in subsection (a). (4) Applicability to certain uses This subsection shall not be construed so as to compel a consumer reporting agency to develop or disclose a score if the agency does not— (A) distribute scores that are used in connection with residential real property loans; or (B) develop scores that assist credit providers in understanding the general credit behavior of a consumer and predicting the future credit behavior of the consumer. (5) Applicability to credit scores developed by another person (A) In general This subsection shall not be construed to require a consumer reporting agency that distributes credit scores developed by another person or entity to provide a further explanation of them, or to process a dispute arising pursuant to section 1681i of this title, except that the consumer reporting agency shall provide the consumer with the name and address and website for contacting the person or entity who developed the score or developed the methodology of the score. (B) Exception This paragraph shall not apply to a consumer reporting agency that develops or modifies scores that are developed by another person or entity.

(8) Fair and reasonable fee A consumer reporting agency may charge a fair and reasonable fee, as determined by the Bureau, for providing the information required under this subsection. (9) Use of enquiries as a key factor If a key factor that adversely affects the credit score of a consumer consists of the number of enquiries made with respect to a consumer report, that factor shall be included in the disclosure pursuant to paragraph (1)(C) without regard to the numerical limitation in such paragraph. (g) Disclosure of credit scores by certain mortgage lenders (1) In general Any person who makes or arranges loans and who uses a consumer credit score, as defined in subsection (f), in connection with an application initiated or sought by a consumer for a closed end loan or the establishment of an open end loan for a consumer purpose that is secured by 1 to 4 units of residential real property (hereafter in this subsection referred to as the “lender”) shall provide the following to the consumer as soon as reasonably practicable: (A) Information required under subsection (f) (i) In general A copy of the information identified in subsection (f) that was obtained from a consumer reporting agency or was developed and used by the user of the information.

(B) Disclosures in case of automated underwriting system (i) In general If a person that is subject to this subsection uses an automated underwriting system to underwrite a loan, that person may satisfy the obligation to provide a credit score by disclosing a credit score and associated key factors supplied by a consumer reporting agency. (ii) Numerical credit score However, if a numerical credit score is generated by an automated underwriting system used by an enterprise, and that score is disclosed to the person, the score shall be disclosed to the consumer consistent with subparagraph (C). (iii) Enterprise defined For purposes of this subparagraph, the term “enterprise” has the same meaning as in paragraph (6) of section 4502 of title 12. (C) Disclosures of credit scores not obtained from a consumer reporting agency A person that is subject to the provisions of this subsection and that uses a credit score, other than a credit score provided by a consumer reporting agency, may satisfy the obligation to provide a credit score by disclosing a credit score and associated key factors supplied by a consumer reporting agency. (D) Notice to home loan applicants A copy of the following notice, which shall include the name, address, and telephone number of each consumer reporting agency providing a credit score that was used: “notice to the home loan applicant “In connection with your application for a home loan, the lender must disclose to you the score that a consumer reporting agency distributed to users and the lender used in connection with your home loan, and the key factors affecting your credit scores. “The credit score is a computer generated summary calculated at the time of the request and based on information that a consumer reporting agency or lender has on file. The scores are based on data about your credit history and payment patterns. Credit scores are important because they are used to assist the lender in determining whether you will obtain a loan. They may also be used to determine what interest rate you may be offered on the mortgage. Credit scores can change over time, depending on your conduct, how your credit history and payment patterns change, and how credit scoring technologies change. “Because the score is based on information in your credit history, it is very important that you review the credit-related information that is being furnished to make sure it is accurate. Credit records may vary from one company to another. “If you have questions about your credit score or the credit information that is furnished to you, contact the consumer reporting agency at the address and telephone number provided with this notice, or contact the lender, if the lender developed or generated the credit score. The consumer reporting agency plays no part in the decision to take any action on the loan application and is unable to provide you with specific reasons for the decision on a loan application. “If you have questions concerning the terms of the loan, contact the lender.”. (E) Actions not required under this subsection This subsection shall not require any person to— (i) explain the information provided pursuant to subsection (f); (ii) disclose any information other than a credit score or key factors, as defined in subsection (f); (iii) disclose any credit score or related information obtained by the user after a loan has closed; (iv) provide more than 1 disclosure per loan transaction; or (v) provide the disclosure required by this subsection when another person has made the disclosure to the consumer for that loan transaction. (F) No obligation for content (i) In general The obligation of any person pursuant to this subsection shall be limited solely to providing a copy of the information that was received from the consumer reporting agency. (ii) Limit on liability No person has liability under this subsection for the content of that information or for the omission of any information within the report provided by the consumer reporting agency. (G) Person defined as excluding enterprise As used in this subsection, the term “person” does not include an enterprise (as defined in paragraph (6) of section 4502 of title 12). (2) Prohibition on disclosure clauses null and void (A) In general Any provision in a contract that prohibits the disclosure of a credit score by a person who makes or arranges loans or a consumer reporting agency is void. (B) No liability for disclosure under this subsection A lender shall not have liability under any contractual provision for disclosure of a credit score pursuant to this subsection.
