“Reasonable Policies and Procedures for Furnishers of Information”
In addition to the interagency FAQs, we are providing the following guidance to OTS supervised institutions to explain how consumer report users can comply with the requirement to develop reasonable policies and procedures for furnishing confirmed addresses to nationwide consumer reporting agencies (NCRAs). Specifically, the Red Flag Rules/Guidelines require furnishers to develop and implement reasonable policies and procedures for furnishing confirmed addresses to NCRAs. We have become aware that some financial institutions are not able to use an automated process to provide confirmed addresses when these institutions do not regularly furnish information to NCRAs, such as in employment situations or for deposit accounts. In these circumstances, “reasonable” policies and procedures for furnishing confirmed addresses might include:
• furnishing confirmed addresses through a non-automated process; or
• notifying individuals who are the subject of an address discrepancy notice and either:
⎯ informing them how they may file a dispute with an NCRA to ensure that the correct address appears on consumer reports;3 or
⎯ offering to process the matter for such consumers as if it were a direct dispute.
