CONSUMER INSTRUCTION A consumers written consent qualifies as an instruction that provides a permissible purpose under this section if it clearly authorizes the issuance of a consumer report on that consumer. XXXX For example, a consumers clear and specific written statement that I authorize you to procure a consumer report on me provides a permissible purpose under this section. However, the consumers signature on a form that includes the statement I understand that where appropriate, credit bureau reports may be obtained is not a sufficiently specific instruction from the consumer to authorize a CRA to provide a consumer report. This language is more in the nature of a notification that a consumer report might be procured, as opposed to a grant of permission to obtain the consumer report.110 2.
