- CFPB Adopts Rule Addressing Adverse Information in Consumer Reporting in Human Trafficking Cases
- Based upon feedback at the 2022 PBSA Annual Conference, we wanted to re-share with members the recent rule adopted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that establishes a process by which victims of human trafficking may submit documentation to consumer reporting agencies and prohibits consumer reporting agencies from furnishing a consumer report containing the adverse information related to such trafficking. The rule took effect on July 25 and companies are advised to consult with counsel on its implementation.
