FCRA – the 800 Pound Compliance Gorilla
About This Course
It’s no exaggeration: Regulations implementing the FCRA represent some of the most underrated rules in banking. Their reach extends far and wide within financial institutions, covering everything from deposit accounts to loans; human Resources to Marketing.
Consider it the 800 pound gorilla you didn’t even know you had in the room. Left unchecked, it could make a huge mess of things! Is your Compliance Management System adequately addressing all the numerous facets of FCRA? Gaps occur frequently, simply because so many bank players need to be involved. If you only have an FCRA lending policy, you are undoubtedly leaving off about half the coverage of FCRA.
AGENDA
Lending Issues:
- Permissible purpose
- When medical information may be considered (but should it?)
- Accurate adverse action notice disclosures (far more to them than just Reg B)
- Risk Based Pricing Notices
- Credit score disclosures (several varieties)
- Fraud alerts
- Accurate credit reporting (i.e. lenders can’t waive bad reporting for good customers)
- Furnishing of negative information
- Dispute and error resolution
- Prescreening solicitations (which may impact your customers even if your institution isn’t doing them… Hello “trigger leads”!)
Deposit / Operational Issues:
- Permissible purpose (yep, again)
- Affiliate information sharing and what it means for marketing
- Deposit account adverse action notice disclosures
- Accurate credit reporting (E-OSCAR)
- Re-pollution of data
- Identity Theft Prevention Program (i.e. Red Flags program)
- Disposal of consumer information
- Prescreening solicitations (yes, here too!)
Employment Issues:
- Permissible purpose (I sense a theme…)
- Employment credit reports (Unique – don’t substitute credit reports pulled on the loan side!)
- Required pre-pull disclosures
- Employment adverse action notice disclosures
