Entire Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act Document

As a public service, the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has prepared the following complete text of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Although staff generally followed the format of the U.S. Code as published by the Government Printing Office, the format of this text does differ in minor ways from the Code (and from West's U.S. Code Annotated). This version of the FCRA is complete as of January 7, 2002. It includes the amendments to the FCRA set forth in the Consumer Credit Reporting Reform Act of 1996. The entire federal Fair Credit Reporting Act document can be found at the FTC website, http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcra.htm.
