W.D.I.A. Corporation, et al.; Proposed Consent Agreement With Analysis To Aid Public Comment

概要

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair acts and practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent agreement, accepted subject to final Commission approval, would prohibit, among other things, an Ohio based information corporation and two of its officers from furnishing any consumer report for any purposes not permitted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and would require the respondents to take certain steps to ensure subscribers have permissible purposes for accessing consumer reports in the future. In addition, the respondents would be required to maintain a toll-free telephone number available to consumers who have questions regarding the purpose for which a consumer report on them was furnished.
