The Federal agency that administers compliance with this law concerning this creditor is the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Per FCRA 604 ( 2 ) Permissible Purposes ; as a federally protected consumer each this is a direct violation of federal law. Anyconsumer reporting agencymay furnish aconsumer reportunder the following circumstances and no other : In accordance with the written instructions of theconsumerto whom it relates. This section states as a disclosure to the consumer that a CLEAR and CONSPICUOUS disclosure be made in writing and also authorized with the consumers signature before any consumer private protected information can be used or reported.
