Cevap
The correct statements are that the insurer must provide the contact information of the consumer reporting agency, and the applicant has the right to obtain a free copy of the report from that agency within 60 days.
When an adverse action (such as charging a higher premium or denying coverage) is taken based on a consumer report, the FCRA mandates that the insurer notify the applicant and provide the name, address, and phone number of the consumer reporting agency. Furthermore, the FCRA grants the applicant the right to obtain a free copy of that report directly from the agency if requested within 60 days.
