The Fair Credit Reporting Act (F C R A), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (F A C T A) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission are all weighing in on the background screening process. We’ll discuss the major parts of what each of these agencies say in regards to background screening.
1) Fair Credit Reporting Act - has 29 categories with which credit and criminal reporting agencies (CRAs) and employers must comply.
2) Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act - The act allows consumers to request and obtain a free credit report once every twelve months from each of the three nationwide consumer credit reporting companies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion
