Choose the right perspective
Match the person's side of the FCRA to your question: background screening compliance leaders for employment and tenant screening, bank and lender leaders for furnishing accuracy and dispute handling, and in-house counsel for legal structure and industry standards. Also consider whether you are the consumer reporting agency, the furnisher or the end user of reports, since the obligations differ.
