FCRA Questions from the Hotline
- If a bank receives a dispute about information it provided to a consumer reporting agency regarding a mortgage payment, does the bank follow the QWR/NOE timing requirements of Regulation X or the timing requirements of Regulation V’s §1022.43 for direct disputes?
- Under what circ*mstances is a bank required to send a risk-based pricing notice for an existing credit card account?
- Do the risk-based pricing (RBP) requirements contained in FCRA apply to consumer auto leases?
- The bank sent prescreened offers of credit based on FICO scores and included a stated Annual Percentage Rate. The bank, in some cases, honored the offered APR even if the applicant's FICO score had dropped. If the FICO score had dropped significantly, the bank issued a denial. Should the bank have included risk-based pricing notices?
- Mortgage loan borrowers sometimes call asking if our bank will lower the rate via a modification agreement rather than a refinancing. If such a request is not approved, is our bank required to send an adverse action notice?
