Abstract: The consumer disclosures included in Regulation V are designed to alert consumers that a financial institution furnished negative information about them to a consumer reporting agency, that they have a right to opt out of receiving marketing materials and credit or insurance offers, that their credit report was used in setting the material terms of credit that may be less favorable than the terms offered to consumers with better credit histories, that they maintain certain rights with respect to a theft of their identity that they reported to a consumer reporting agency, that they maintain rights with respect to knowing what is in their consumer reporting agency file, that they can request a free credit report, and that they can report a theft of their identity to the CFPB. Consumers then can use the information provided to consider how and when to check and use their credit reports.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Bureau reports no program changes to Regulation V at this time. The adjustment of +778,918 respondents is due to the Bureau estimating the burden associated on firms for which the Bureau has enforcement authority. After a full review, it was determined that the Bureau did not account for all FCRA requirements on these firms previously. The adjustment of +1,937,412 hours is largely a result of the estimation of burden of requirements under FCRA for which an estimate had not previously existed. This is the first time that the impact of these requirements has been estimated, resulting in an increase in requested PRA burden. This increase does not represent new requirements or a substantial increase in burden due to existing requirements. The adjustment of +$66,627,000 in cost burden is also a result of newly estimated requirements.
