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, that they can report a theft
of their identity to the CFPB, and that they maintain rights with
respect to obtaining a security freeze. Consumers then can use the
information provided to consider how and when to check and use
their credit reports.
