Bill > HR5677

This bill, the Fair Credit Reporting for Servicemembers Act, revises consumer credit protections for active duty uniformed servicemembers. It extends these protections to certain active duty servicemembers deployed in a combat zone or aboard a U.S. vessel, prohibiting the inclusion of adverse credit information that occurred during their deployment. The bill also adds servicemembers in the commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Public Health Service to the groups covered by these active duty credit protections. Additionally, the bill requires consumer reporting agencies to promptly notify these extended active duty uniformed consumers of any adverse information received about them and provide them with a method to dispute the validity of such information.
