Fair Credit Reporting Act


The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is United States federal legislation that promotes accuracy, fairness, and privacy for data used by consumer reporting agencies. Consumer reporting agencies include credit bureaus and financial agencies that collect, store, use, and disseminate consumer information for use in background checks.

The FCRA is the primary federal law that governs the collection and reporting of credit information about consumers. Its rules cover how a consumer's credit information is obtained, how long it is kept, and how it is shared with others—including consumers themselves.
