Is it a violation to put the information below on an adverse action notice if a credit report was used for the denial?

"This section should be completed if the credit decision was based in whole or in part on information that has been obtained from an outside source.

Sorry I meant to say if a credit report was not used to deny the loan.
That is the language that can be put on the forms. but there is also other language that can be used.

If a credit report was not used - you should not be including the FCRA language.
