Abstract
The Fair Credit Reporting Act is designed primarily to protect the privacy of consumer report information and to guarantee that the information supplied by consumer reporting agencies is as accurate as possible. The amendments to the Fair Credit Reporting Act make numerous and significant changes to using consumer credit information and restrict an employer's ability to obtain background information without the consent of the individual, whether he or she is an applicant or employee.
