The FTC plans to examine victims' experiences as they reported the matter to credit reporting agencies, as is permitted under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act).
Among other protections, the FACT Act gives consumers the right to place fraud alerts on their credit files if they are, or suspect they may become, victims of identity theft; block information on their credit reports that resulted from identity theft; and obtain copies of their credit reports free of charge.
The survey results will help guide the FTC's efforts to enforce the law and educate consumers and the credit reporting industry about their rights and duties.
