113-hr-5843 113 hr 5843 To amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to create protected credit reports for minors and protect the credit of minors, and for other purposes. Finance and Financial Sector 2014-12-10 2014-12-10 Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. House Rep. Langevin, James R. [D-RI-2] RI D L000559 2 Amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act, with respect to protections for credit reports of minor consumers, to require a consumer reporting agency, upon request by the legal guardian or custodian of a minor consumer (including the state or tribal agency responsible for a child in foster care), to either create a blocked file for the minor or convert an already existing file to blocked status. Directs the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to: (1) establish implementing procedures, and (2) determine what fee, if any, may be charged by a consumer reporting agency to create, convert, or unblock a file. Requires a consumer reporting agency to: (1) unblock a blocked file upon request by a guardian or on the minor's 18th birthday, and (2) include an alert statement in an unblocked file if the minor consumer was a victim of fraud or identity theft before that 18th birthday. Requires a reseller who furnishes information concerning a consumer file containing an alert statement to include it when furnishing information. Prohibits a consumer reporting agency from charging a fee to create, convert, or unblock the file of a consumer who was a victim of fraud or identity theft before his or her 18th birthday. 2023-01-11T13:25:10Z
