The Fair Credit Reporting Act,
implementing by Regulation V, requires that consumer reporting
agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of
commerce for consumer crdit, personnel, insurance, and other
information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the
consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy,
and proper utilization of such information.
The Federal Reserve published a
final rule to implement the affiliate marketing provisions in
section 214 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of
2003, which amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The final rule
generally prohibits a person from using information received from
an affiliate to make a solicitation for marketing purposes to a
consumer, unless the consumer is given notice and a reasonable
opportunity and a reasonable and simple method to opt out of the
making of such solicitations. This rule is effective January 1,
2008, with mandatory compliance by October 1, 2008.
