FCRA. You understand and agree that by

instructions" in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended from
time to time ("FCRA"), for ID Guard to access
and obtain your personal credit information, and the personal credit
information of any minor(s) you have enrolled, from any or all of the credit
reporting companies for the purpose of verifying your and any enrolled
minor(s)' identity and to provide the ID Guard Products and Services and
any services or functions related thereto and ID Guard' business. The FCRA
allows you to obtain a copy of all of the information in your consumer credit
file disclosure from any consumer credit reporting company for a reasonable
charge. Failure to comply with the FCRA can result in state or federal
enforcement actions, as well as private lawsuits. In addition, any person who
knowingly and willfully obtains a consumer credit report or disclosure under
false pretenses may face criminal prosecution. The FCRA also states that
individuals are entitled to receive a disclosure directly from the consumer
credit reporting company free of charge under the following circumstances:
- You have been
denied credit, insurance or employment in the past sixty (60) days as a
result of your report
- You certify in
writing that you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the
sixty (60)-day period beginning on the day you make the certification
- You are a
recipient of public welfare assistance
- You
have reason to believe that your file at the agency contains inaccurate
information due to fraud.
14. The FCRA allows consumers to obtian one free comprehensive disclosure of all of the
information in their credit file from each of the three major national credit
reporting companies (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) once every twelve (12)
months through a central source. Georgia residents can receive two (2)
disclosures per year. Although comprehensive, the credit reports from each of
the three (3) national credit reporting companies that are available from
ID Guard may not have the same information as a credit report obtained
directly from the three (3) national credit reporting companies or through the
central source. To request your free annual report under the FCRA, you must go
to www.annualcreditreport.com, or call 877-322-8228. ID Guard's
Products are not related to the free FCRA disclosure that you are or may be
entitled to. The FCRA also permits
consumers to dispute inaccurate information in their credit report without
charge. Accurate information cannot be changed. You do not have to purchase
your credit report or other information from ID Guard to dispute
inaccurate or incomplete information in your credit file or to receive a copy
of your consumer disclosure. The credit reports you are requesting from
ID Guard are not intended to constitute the disclosure of the credit
reporting company's information required by the FCRA or similar state laws. The
credit reporting company's disclosure report must be obtained directly from the
credit reporting company by contacting the credit reporting company as show
below:
- Equifax:
1-877-576-5734 www.equifax.com
- Experian:
1-888-397-3742 www.experian.com/fraud
- TransUnion:
