Group Letter Urging House Financial Services Committee to Oppose Facilitating Access to Credit Act of 2015 (HR 347)

Default News Placeholder 6

CFA and other national consumer organizations express their strong opposition to H.R. 347 (Royce and Hinojosa), the misleadingly-named “Facilitating Access to Credit Act of 2015.” This bill would unnecessarily allow credit bureaus to be exempt from coverage by the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA). This would be a dangerous mistake. CROA is a vital and important consumer protection law. There is no need to weaken CROA to allow the promotion of credit monitoring products that are of dubious value and that have been the subject of highly deceptive marketing as revealed by law enforcement actions and Congress’s own findings.
