Settlement Reached Over Sale of Distressed Borrower Data

One of the three major credit bureaus has agreed to a settlement over charges it sold data on borrowers who were past due on their home loans. Some of the data was used to generate leads for loan modifications.

Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681b, prohibits consumer reporting agencies from furnishing consumer reports to anybody other than those they have reason to believe have a specified "permissible purpose."

In the case of pre-screened lists, the only permissible purpose is to make a "firm offer of credit or insurance." The bureaus are required to make a reasonable effort to verify the identity of each new prospective user of consumer report information and how the reports will be used before providing the reports.
