Is the Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act required solely for denied employment applications or must the bank provide it under other circumstances, such as a denial of credit?

That specific form is required only for denied employment. What information must be provided in the event of a non-employment adverse decision, such as a credit denial, is addressed in §615(a). These adverse action notices must provide: information about the consumer reporting agency providing the report; statements that the consumer reporting agency did not make the decision, that the consumer has right to free copy of report, and that the consumer may dispute inaccurate information; and information about any credit score used. The list does not include the Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. (May 2024)
