- 2Receive a written inquiry from the proposed insured asking for specifics about the investigation.
- 3Supply a detailed disclosure explaining the exact nature and scope of the intended report within five days.

Cevap
The correct chronological sequence begins with the initial written notification, followed by the applicant's inquiry, the detailed scope disclosure, the underwriting denial, and finally the adverse action notice.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act dictates a strict procedural timeline for investigative consumer reports. It starts with an initial notification (within 3 days), which prompts the consumer's request for details. The insurer then has 5 days to disclose the nature and scope. After the report is reviewed, the insurer makes a coverage decision. If the decision is to deny coverage based on the report, the final step is issuing an adverse action notice.
