Fair Credit Reporting ; Permissible Purposes for Furnishing, Using, and Obtaining Consumer Reports BureauofConsumerFin.Prot., FairCreditReporting ; Name-OnlyMatchingProcedures,86FR62468,62472 ( XXXX ) A consumer reporting company may not provide a consumer report under FCRA section 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 3 ) unless it has reason to believe that the user has a permissible purpose with respect to the consumer about whom the report is requested.

A users request to a consumer reporting company for a report about a consumer does not give the consumer reporting company a reason to believe that the user has a permissible purpose to obtain a consumer report about other consumers.

FCRA section 15 USC 1681b ( f ) prohibits a person from using or obtaining a consumer report unless... the consumer report is obtained for a purpose for which the consumer report is authorized to be furnished under 15 USC 1681b and the purpose is certified in accordance with 15 USC 1681e by a prospective user of the report through a general or specific certification.

Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. These procedures shall require that prospective users of the information identify themselves, certify the purposes for which the information is sought, and certify that the information will be used for no other purpose. Every consumer reporting agency shall make a reasonable effort to verify the identity of a new prospective user and the uses certified by such prospective user prior to furnishing such user a consumer report. No consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report to any person if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the consumer report will not be used for a purpose listed in section 1681b of this title.

Permissible purposes of consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ] ( a ) In general. Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

Provide me with a copy of the permissible purpose document that was certified buy law?

In addition to the certification, I wrote the bankruptcy court asking for certification of accuracy from the clerk of the court to certify that the information on PACER is 100 % accurate response to my letter they claim that they did not report any information to the consumer reporting agency.
