Restrict cross-marketing by financial institutions and other companies;
Impose new requirements on companies that use credit reports; and
Require lenders and others to establish new fraud prevention programs.
In addition, a spate of federal court decisions interpreting the increasingly complex provisions of the FCRA and FACT Act has been issued.
