The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows you to obtain from each consumer reporting agency a disclosure of all the information in your consumer file at the time of the request. Full disclosure of information in your file at a consumer reporting agency must be obtained directly from such consumer reporting agency. The credit reports provided or requested through our Site are not intended to constitute the disclosure of information by a consumer reporting agency as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws.
You are entitled to receive a free copy of your consumer report from a consumer reporting agency if: • You have been denied or were otherwise notified of an adverse action related to credit, insurance, employment, or a government granted license or other government granted benefit within the past sixty (60) days based on information in a credit report provided by such agency.
• You have been denied house/apartment rental or were required to pay a higher deposit than usually required within the past sixty (60) days based on information in a consumer report provided by such agency. • You certify in writing that you are a recipient of public welfare assistance.
• You certify in writing that you have reason to believe that your file at such credit reporting agency contains inaccurate information due to fraud.
In addition, if you are a resident of Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, or Vermont, you may receive one free copy of your consumer report each year from the consumer reporting agencies. If you are a resident of Georgia, you may receive two free copies of your consumer report each year from the credit bureaus. Otherwise, a consumer reporting agency may impose a reasonable charge for providing you with a copy of your consumer report.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act provides that you may dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in your consumer report. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PURCHASE YOUR CONSUMER REPORT FROM THE SITE OR SHAREABLE IN ORDER TO DISPUTE INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE INFORMATION IN YOUR REPORT OR TO RECEIVE A COPY OF YOUR REPORT FROM EQUIFAX, EXPERIAN OR TRANSUNION, THE THREE NATIONAL CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES, OR FROM ANY OTHER CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY.
