15 USC 1681b is a section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which is a federal law that regulates the collection, use, and dissemination of consumer credit information by credit reporting agencies. Section 15 USC 1681b specifically addresses the permissible purposes for which consumer credit reports can be accessed and used by third parties.

Under 15 USC 1681b, credit reporting agencies are only allowed to furnish consumer credit reports to those who have a permissible purpose as defined by the FCRA. Permissible purposes for accessing and using consumer credit reports include : Credit transactions : When a consumer applies for credit, such as a loan, credit card, or mortgage, the creditor has a permissible purpose to request and obtain the consumer 's credit report to assess their creditworthiness.

Employment purposes : Employers may request and obtain consumer credit reports for employment purposes, but only with the written consent of the consumer. This typically applies to positions that require financial responsibility or access to sensitive financial information. 
Insurance underwriting : Insurance companies may request and obtain consumer credit reports for underwriting purposes, such as determining rates and eligibility for insurance coverage.

Court orders and legal requirements : Credit reports may be accessed and used in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal requirement.

Legitimate business needs : Other legitimate business needs, as defined by the FCRA, may also constitute permissible purposes for obtaining consumer credit reports. This typically requires a valid reason and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 
It's important to note that obtaining consumer credit reports for unauthorized purposes or without proper authorization is a violation of the FCRA and can result in legal consequences. Consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information on their credit reports under the FCRA, and credit reporting agencies are required to investigate and correct any errors.

To Whom this may concern, I am not responsible of this account. I am a victim of ID theft. People have used my information to open it and also make fraudulent activities. I have sent in multiple disputes and The other bureaus have removed it of my credit report, but you guys refused to do so. I have submitted my police report and FTC report, and verified my identification etc., yet you guys claim that this account has been verified. Therefore, I am invoking the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611 ( FCRA 611 ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I to ask that you provide me with the following information : 1. The date you contacted the creditor. 2. The contact information for the creditor. 3. The name of the person who verified the item to you. 4. The method of communication you used to verify this information. I understand that failure to investigate these accounts within a period of thirty days will result in non-verification which requires that the above accounts be immediately removed from my credit file. I also understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act specifically 15 USC sections 1681i ( d ) and 1681j requires that I receive both written notification of the appropriate corrections and updated credit reports at no charge.
