The Rule implements sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 ("FACT Act"), as amended by the Red Flags Program Clarification Act of 2010. These rules enhance the ability of consumers to resolve problems caused by identity theft and increase the accuracy of consumer reports.
US Code: 15 USC 1681m(e)(4) Name of Law: Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010
PL: Pub.L. 111 - 203 1088 Name of Law: Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act,
The estimates for 2018-2019 greatly overstated the number of businesses that would be required to comply with the Address Discrepancy Rule. The Rule covers only users of consumer reports that are motor vehicle dealers described in section 1029(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act and that are predominantly engaged in the sale and servicing of motor vehicles, the leasing and servicing of them, or both. Thus, the annual burden hours and labor costs were significantly adjusted downward for 2021-2022.
