Title 15, Section 1692c ( 15 U.S.C. 1692c ) of the United States Code establishes explicit limitations on communication in connection with debt collection. These limitations prohibit debt collectors from communicating about a consumers debt to third parties unless under specific circumstances, such as with the consumers consent or for the purpose of locating the consumer. In conjunction with these provisions, it is imperative to comprehend the concept of permissible purpose as defined in 15 U.S.C. 1681b. This section delineates the legitimate reasons for obtaining and using consumer reports, ensuring that creditors have a valid and authorized basis for accessing and utilizing a consumers credit information. Violating this principle arises when a creditor sells a debt without a permissible purpose, raising significant concerns about the legality of such actions. The violation extends beyond the boundaries of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). While the FDCPA primarily applies to third-party debt collectors, original creditors, such as [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX must also adhere to other applicable laws and regulations.

Under 15 USC 1666b, companies are prohibited from reporting transaction histories on credit reports. This statute protects consumers by ensuring that sensitive financial information, such as detailed transaction histories, remains confidential and does not influence their creditworthiness. Transaction histories typically contain detailed records of purchases and payments, which are not relevant to assessing credit risk. By limiting the information included in credit reports to relevant credit-related data, consumers ' privacy is preserved, and the accuracy of credit assessments is maintained. Therefore, any attempt by a company to report transaction histories on credit reports would be in violation of this federal law. 17 CFR 424 is a regulation issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) that pertains to the filing of prospectuses and communications with the public under the Securities Act of 1933.
