What regulation is associated with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)?

• A. Reg V
• B. Reg C
• C. Reg B
• D. Reg Z

Answer: (A)

Regulation V implements the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It governs how consumer reporting agencies handle consumer information, including accuracy standards, permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports, and the dispute process that lets consumers challenge and correct information. It also sets responsibilities for furnishers who report data to these agencies and outlines how investigations should be conducted when information is disputed. This is the regulation that directly corresponds to the FCRA, ensuring consumer protections in credit reporting. For context, Reg C is HMDA-related, Reg B covers ECOA, and Reg Z covers TILA.
