Cevap

The insurer must notify the applicant in writing that an investigative report may be requested.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act strictly regulates how consumer information is gathered. When an insurer orders an Investigative Consumer Report (which involves interviews with friends, neighbors, and associates), they must provide the applicant with a written disclosure stating that such a report may be requested. This must typically occur within 3 days of the date the report was requested.
