Where can I get a copy of the Fair Credit Reporting Act?
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is the federal law that regulates credit reporting agencies and compels them to ensure that the credit information they gather and distribute about you is fair and accurate. It also establishes procedures for correcting mistakes on your credit record and requires that your record only be provided only to parties with legitimate business needs.
