Cevap

The insurer must provide the applicant with the name and address of the reporting agency that supplied the file.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act mandates that if an insurance application is denied, or if a higher premium is charged due to information found in a consumer report, the applicant must be informed. The insurer is legally obligated to provide the name and address of the reporting agency so the consumer can review their file and dispute any inaccuracies.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the core regulatory event described in the scenario.
The insurer has taken an adverse action (denied coverage) based on a third-party credit report.
Recognizing the type of action dictates which federal rule applies.
2
Determine the federal compliance requirements for this specific event.
Federal regulations mandate that the consumer must be informed when their credit history negatively impacts their eligibility.
This transparency allows consumers to verify the accuracy of their credit files.
3
Select the action that aligns with this federal mandate.
The insurer is required to supply the contact information of the reporting agency to the applicant.
This directly satisfies the adverse action notification requirements.
