 Accounts

Typically, creditors report any changes made to your account information monthly. This means that some accounts listed
below may not reflect the most recent activity until the creditor's next reporting. This information may include things such as
balances, payments, dates, remarks, ratings, etc. The rating key is provided to help you understand some of the account
information that could be reported. Pay Status represents the current status of accounts and indicates how you are currently
paying. For accounts that have been paid and closed, sold, or transferred, Pay Status represents the last reported status of
the account.

 TransUnion is now including some Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) installment loans, also known as a "point-of-sale installment
loans" on credit reports. At this time, BNPL information provided to TransUnion is visible to you, but scoring providers,
lenders, insurers or other authorized companies that may access your credit report will not be able to use this data. As a
result, it will not affect credit decisions or credit scores calculated using TransUnion data. In the future, Buy Now, Pay
Later may be factored in to credit scores and credit decisions (for example, account opening or account review decisions).

SUMMARY OF RIGHTS

GENERAL SUMMARY OF RIGHTS UNDER THE FCRA

Para informacion en espanol, visite www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore  o escribe a la Consumer Financial Protection


Bureau, 1700 G Street NW. Washington, DC 20552.

A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of
consumer reporting agencies. There are many types of consumer reporting agencies, including credit bureaus and specialty
agencies (such as agencies that sell information about check writing histories, medical records, and rental history records).
Here is a summary of your major rights under FCRA. For more information, including information about additional rights, go to
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore  or write to: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW, Washington,
DC 20552.

You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses a credit report or another type of
consumer report to deny your application for credit, insurance, or employment – or to take another adverse action against
you – must tell you, and must give you the name, address, and phone number of the agency that provided the information.

You have the right to know what is in your file. You may request and obtain all the information about you in the files of a
consumer reporting agency (your ‘file disclosure’). You will be required to provide proper identification, which may include
your Social Security Number. In many cases, the disclosure will be free. You are entitled to a free file disclosure if:
a person has taken adverse action against you because of information in your credit report;

you are the victim of identity theft and place a fraud alert in your file;

your file contains inaccurate information as a result of fraud;

you are on public assistance;

you are unemployed but expect to apply for employment within 60 days.

In addition, all consumers are entitled to one free disclosure every 12 months upon request from each nationwide credit
bureau and from nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies. See www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore  for
additional information.

You have the right to ask for a credit score. Credit scores are numerical summaries of your credit-worthiness based on
information from credit bureaus. You may request a credit score from consumer reporting agencies that create scores or
distribute scores used in residential real property loans, but you will have to pay for it. In some mortgage transactions, you
will receive credit score information for free from the mortgage lender.

You have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. If you identify information in your file that is
incomplete or inaccurate, and report it to the consumer reporting agency, the agency must investigate unless your dispute
is frivolous. See www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore  for an explanation of dispute procedures.

Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate,
incomplete, or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer
reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate.

Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most cases, a consumer reporting agency
may not report negative information that is more than seven years old, or bankruptcies that are more than 10 years old.

Access to your file is limited. A consumer reporting agency may provide information about you only to people with a valid
need usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer, employer, landlord, or other business. The FCRA specifies
those with a valid need for access.

You must give your consent for reports to be provided to employers. A consumer reporting agency may not give out
information about you to your employer, or a potential employer, without your written consent given to the employer.
Written consent generally is not required in the trucking industry. For more information, go to
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore .

You may limit prescreened offers of credit and insurance you get based on information in your credit report. Unsolicited
prescreened offers for credit and insurance must include a toll-free phone number you can call if you choose to remove
your name and address form the lists these offers are based on. You may opt out with the nationwide credit bureaus at 1-
888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688).

The following FCRA right applies with respect to nationwide consumer reporting agencies:

CONSUMERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN A SECURITY FREEZE. You have a right to place a "security freeze" on your credit
report, which will prohibit a consumer reporting agency from releasing information in your credit report without your
express authorization. The security freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your
name without your consent. However, you should be aware that using a security freeze to take control over who gets access
to the personal and financial information in your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of
any subsequent request or application you make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the
extension of credit.
A security freeze does not apply to a person or entity, or its affiliates, or collection agencies acting on behalf of the person
or entity, with which you have an existing account that requests information in your credit report for the purposes of
reviewing or collecting the account. Reviewing the account includes activities related to account maintenance, monitoring,
credit line increases, and account upgrades and enhancements.
To place a security freeze, a consumer reporting agency will require you to provide appropriate proof of your identity, which
may include your Social Security Number. You may place a security freeze on your credit report by contacting each of the
three nationwide credit reporting agencies.

Equifax: 1-800-525-6285; www.equifax.com 

Experian: 1-888-397-3742; www.experian.com 

TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289; www.transunion.com 

As an alternative to a security freeze, you have the right to place an initial or extended fraud alert on your credit file at no
cost. An initial fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer’s credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a
consumer’s credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer’s identity before extending new credit. If
you are a victim of identity theft, you are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting 7 years.

You may seek damages from violators. If a consumer reporting agency, or, in some cases, a user of consumer reports or a
furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency violates the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.
You may also have the right to file suit under state law.

Identity theft victims and active duty military personnel have additional rights. For more information, visit
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore .

States may enforce the FCRA, and many states have their own consumer reporting laws. In some cases, you may have more
rights under state law. For more information, contact your state or local consumer protection agency or your state Attorney
General. For information about your federal rights, contact:

Remedying the Effects of Identity Theft

You are receiving this information because you have notified a consumer reporting agency that you believe you are a victim of
identity theft. Identity theft occurs when someone uses your name, Social Security Number, date of birth, or other identifying
information, without authority, to commit fraud. For example, someone may have committed identity theft by using your
personal information to open a credit card account or get a loan in your name. For more information, visit
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore  or write to: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street N.W., Washington,
DC 20552.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) gives you specific rights when you are, or believe you that you are, a victim of identity
theft. Here is a brief summary of the rights designed to help you recover from identity theft.

1. You have the right to place a ‘security freeze’ on your credit report, which will prohibit a consumer reporting agency
from releasing information in your credit report without your express authorization.

The security freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your
consent. However, you should be aware that using a security freeze to take control over who gets access to the
personal and financial information in your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any
subsequent request or application you make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the
extension of credit.

A security freeze does not apply to a person or entity, or its affiliates, or collection agencies acting on behalf of the
person or entity, with which you have an existing account that requests information in your credit report for the
purposes of reviewing or collecting the account. Reviewing the account includes activities related to account
maintenance, monitoring, credit line increases, and account upgrades and enhancements.

2. As an alternative to a security freeze, you have the right to place an initial or extended fraud alert on your credit file
at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer’s credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert
display on a consumer’s credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer’s identity before
extending new credit. If you are a victim of identity theft, you are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud
alert lasting 7 years.

To place either of these alerts, a consumer reporting agency will require you to provide appropriate proof of your
identity, which may include your Social Security Number. If you ask for an extended alert, you will have to provide an
identity theft report. An identity theft report includes a copy of a report you have filed with a federal, state, or local law
enforcement agency, and additional information a consumer reporting agency may require you to submit. For more
detailed information about the identity theft report, visit www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore .

You may place a fraud alert in your file by calling just one of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies. As soon as
that agency processes your alert, it will notify the other two, which then must also place fraud alerts in your file.

TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289;www.transunion.com 

3. You have the right to free copies of the information in your file (your “file disclosure”). An initial fraud alert entitles
you to a copy of all information in your file at each of the three nationwide agencies, and an extended alert entitles you
to two free file disclosures in a 12-month period following the placing of the alert. These additional disclosures may help
you detect signs of fraud, for example, whether fraudulent accounts have been opened in your name or whether
someone has reported a change in your address. Once a year, you also have the right to a free copy of the information in
your file at any consumer reporting agency, if you believe it has inaccurate information due to fraud, such as identity
theft. You also have the ability to obtain additional free file disclosures under other provisions of the FCRA. See
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore 

4. You have the right to obtain documents relating to fraudulent transactions made or accounts opened using your
personal information. A creditor or other business must give you copies of applications and other business records
relating to transactions and accounts that resulted from the theft of your identity, if you ask for them in writing. A
business may ask you for proof of your identity, a police report, and an affidavit before giving you the documents. It also
may specify an address for you to send your request. Under certain circumstances, a business can refuse to provide you
with these documents. See www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore .

5. You have the right to obtain information from a debt collector. If you ask, a debt collector must provide you with
certain information about the debt you believe was incurred in your name by an identity thief – like the name of the
creditor and the amount of the debt.

6. If you believe information in your file results from identity theft, you have the right to ask that a consumer reporting
agency block that information from your file. An identity thief may run up bills in your name and not pay them.
Information about the unpaid bills may appear on your consumer report. Should you decide to ask a consumer reporting
agency to block the reporting of this information, you must identify the information to block, and provide the consumer
reporting agency with proof of your identity and a copy of your identity theft report. The consumer reporting agency
can refuse or cancel your request for a block if, for example, you don’t provide the necessary documentation or where
the block results from an error or a material misrepresentation of fact made by you. If the agency declines or rescinds
the block, it must notify you. Once a debt resulting from identity theft has been blocked, a person or business with
notice of the block may not sell, transfer or place the debt for collection.

7. You may also prevent businesses from reporting information about you to consumer reporting agencies if you believe
the information is a result of identity theft. To do so, you must send your request to the address specified by the
business that reports the information to the consumer reporting agency. The business will expect you to identify what
information you do not want reported and to provide an identity theft report.

To learn more about identity theft and how to deal with its consequences, visit www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore , or
write to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. You may have additional rights under state law. For more information,
contact your local consumer protection agency or your state Attorney General.
In addition to the new rights and procedures to help consumers deal with the effects of identity theft, the FCRA has many
other important consumer protections. They are described in more detail at www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore .
