Cevap

Supply the consumer with the name and address of the reporting agency.
Under the FCRA, consumers have the right to know who provided the negative information that led to an adverse underwriting decision. Therefore, the law strictly requires the insurer to provide the name and address of the consumer reporting agency so the applicant can exercise their right to dispute potential inaccuracies.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the trigger event described in the scenario.
An insurer takes an adverse action (denial or rate increase) based on a consumer report.
Understanding the trigger event is necessary to apply the correct regulatory framework.
2
Recall the consumer rights established by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) for this specific event.
The FCRA requires the entity taking adverse action to notify the consumer and provide the contact information of the agency that supplied the report.
This allows the consumer to contact the agency to review their file and dispute any inaccurate information.
3
Evaluate the given options against the FCRA requirement.
Providing the name and address of the reporting agency is the only legally mandated action among the choices.
Other options describe actions that are either prohibited, unnecessary, or the responsibility of another party.
