In conjunction with the recent Accuracy in Consumer Reporting workshop, the FTC and CFPB have asked for public comments. The agencies are looking for feedback about issues affecting the accuracy of both traditional credit reports and employment and tenant background screening reports. But if you thought you had to burn the midnight oil over the holidays to file a timely comment, here’s some good news. The FTC and CFPB have extended the deadline to January 31, 2020.

The FTC and CFPB invited people to comment on issues affecting the accuracy of both traditional credit reports and employment and tenant background screening reports. The FTC and CFPB have agreed to provide additional time for people to provide comments issues including the effect of the removal of most civil judgments and tax liens from credit reports, recent changes in the reporting of medical debt, whether new technologies and data management practices improve accuracy, and what government and private sector measures could improve accuracy, as well as the costs and benefits of these measures.
You can file comments electronically or by paper by writing “Accuracy in Consumer Reporting Workshop” on your comment and on the envelope and mailing it to the following address: Federal Trade Commission, Office of the Secretary, Constitution Center, 400 7th St., SW, 5th Floor, Suite 5610, Washington, D.C., 20024.
