I do not consent to any third party obtaining non-personal information without my knowledge or notice. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) was enacted to protect the confidential information on consumers ' credit reports from misuse, fraud, and theft. It gives consumers the right to ensure that the information on their credit reports is not only correct but private.
