A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of
information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. There are many types of consumer
reporting agencies, including credit bureaus and specialty agencies (such as agencies that sell
information about check writing histories, medical records, and rental history records). Here is
a summary of your major rights under the FCRA. For more information, including information
about additional rights, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore or write to: Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street N.W., Washington, DC 20552.
• You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses a
credit report or another type of consumer report to deny your application for credit, insurance,
or employment – or to take another adverse action against you – must tell you, and must give
you the name, address, and phone number of the agency that provided the information.
• You have the right to know what is in your file. You may request and obtain all the
information about you in the files of a consumer reporting agency (your “file disclosure”). You
will be required to provide proper identification, which may include your Social Security
number. In many cases, the disclosure will be free. You are entitled to a free file disclosure if:
• a person has taken adverse action against you because of information in your credit report;
• you are the victim of identity theft and place a fraud alert in your file;
• your file contains inaccurate information as a result of fraud;
• you are on public assistance;
• you are unemployed but expect to apply for employment within 60 days.
In addition, all consumers are entitled to one free disclosure every 12 months upon request
from each nationwide credit bureau and from nationwide specialty consumer reporting
agencies. See www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore for additional information.
• You have the right to ask for a credit score. Credit scores are numerical summaries of your
credit-worthiness based on information from credit bureaus. You may request a credit score
from consumer reporting agencies that create scores or distribute scores used in residential
real property loans, but you will have to pay for it. In some mortgage transactions, you will
receive credit score information for free from the mortgage lender.
• You have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. If you identify
information in your file that is incomplete or inaccurate, and report it to the consumer
reporting agency, the agency must investigate unless your dispute is frivolous. See
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore for an explanation of dispute procedures.
• Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable
information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed or
corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to
report information it has verified as accurate.
• Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most
cases, a consumer reporting agency may not report negative information that is more than
seven years old, or bankruptcies that are more than 10 years old.
• Access to your file is limited. A consumer reporting agency may provide information about
you only to people with a valid need – usually to consider an application with a creditor,
insurer, employer, landlord, or other business. The FCRA specifies those with a valid need for
access.
• You must give your consent for reports to be provided to employers. A consumer reporting
agency may not give out information about you to your employer, or a potential employer,
without your written consent given to the employer. Written consent generally is not required
in the trucking industry. For more information, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.
• You may limit “prescreened” offers of credit and insurance you get based on information in
your credit report. Unsolicited “prescreened” offers for credit and insurance must include a
toll-free phone number you can call if you choose to remove your name and address from the
lists these offers are based on. You may opt-out with the nationwide credit bureaus at 1-888-
567-8688.
• You may seek damages from violators. If a consumer reporting agency, or, in some cases, a
user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency
violates the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.
• Identity theft victims and active duty military personnel have additional rights. For more
information, visit www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.
States may enforce the FCRA, and many states have their own consumer reporting laws.
In some cases, you may have more rights under state law. For more information, contact
your state or local consumer protection agency or your state Attorney General. For
information about your federal rights, contact:

Remedying the Effects of Identity Theft
You are receiving this information because you have notified a consumer reporting
agency that you believe you are a victim of identity theft. Identity theft occurs when someone
uses your name, Social Security number, date of birth, or other identifying information,
without authority, to commit fraud. For example, someone may have committed identity
theft by using your personal information to open a credit card account or get a loan in your
name. For more information, visit www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore or write to:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street N.W., Washington, DC 20552.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) gives you specific rights when you are, or believe
that you are, the victim of identity theft. Here is a brief summary of the rights designed to help
you recover from identity theft.
1. You have the right to ask that nationwide consumer reporting agencies place
“fraud alerts” in your file to let potential creditors and others know that you may
be a victim of identity theft. A fraud alert can make it more difficult for someone to get
credit in your name because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you. It also
may delay your ability to obtain credit. You may place a fraud alert in your file by calling just one
of the three nationwide consumer reporting agencies. As soon as that agency processes your
fraud alert, it will notify the other two, which then also must place fraud alerts in your file.
• Equifax: 1.888.766.0008; www.equifax.com
• Experian: 1.888.397.3742; www.experian.com
• TransUnion: 1.800.680.7289; www.transunion.com
An initial fraud alert stays in your file for at least 90 days. An extended alert stays in your file for
seven years. To place either of these alerts, a consumer reporting agency will require you to
provide appropriate proof of your identity, which may include your Social Security number. If
you ask for an extended alert, you will have to provide an identity theft report. An identity theft
report includes a copy of a report you have filed with a federal, state, or local law enforcement
agency, and additional information a consumer reporting agency may require you to submit. For
more detailed information about the identify theft report, visit
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.
2. You have the right to free copies of the information in your file (your “file disclosure”).
An initial fraud alert entitles you to a copy of all the information in your file at each of the three
nationwide agencies, and an extended alert entitles you to two free file disclosures in a 12-
month period following the placing of the alert. These additional disclosures may help you
detect signs of fraud, for example, whether fraudulent accounts have been opened in your
name or whether someone has reported a change in your address. Once a year, you also have
the right to a free copy of the information in your file at any consumer reporting agency, if you
believe it has inaccurate information due to fraud, such as identity theft. You also have the
ability to obtain additional free file disclosures under other provisions of the FCRA. See
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.
3. You have the right to obtain documents relating to fraudulent transactions
made or accounts opened using your personal information. A creditor or other
business must give you copies of applications and other business records relating to
transactions and accounts that resulted from the theft of your identity, if you ask for them in
writing. A business may ask you for proof of your identity, a police report, and an affidavit
before giving you the documents. It may also specify an address for you to send your request.
Under certain circumstances, a business can refuse to provide you with these documents. See
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.
4. You have the right to obtain
information
from a debt collector. If you ask, a debt
collector must provide you with certain information about the debt you believe was incurred
in your name by an identity thief – like the name of the creditor and the amount of the debt.
5. If you believe information in your file results from identity theft, you have the right to
ask that a consumer reporting agency block that information from your file. An identity thief
may run up bills in your name and not pay them. Information about the unpaid bills may appear
on your consumer report. Should you decide to ask a consumer reporting agency to block the
reporting of this information, you must identify the information to block, and provide the
consumer reporting agency with proof of your identity and a copy of your identity theft report.
The consumer reporting agency can refuse or cancel your request for a block if, for example, you
don’t provide the necessary documentation, or where the block results from an error or a
material misrepresentation of fact made by you. If the agency declines or rescinds the block, it
must notify you. Once a debt resulting from identity theft has been blocked, a person or
business with notice of the block may not sell, transfer, or place the debt for collection.
6. You also may prevent businesses from
reporting information about you
to
consumer
reporting
agencies if you believe the information is the result of identity theft.
To do so, you must send your request to the address specified by the business that reports
the information to the consumer reporting agency. The business will expect you to identify
what information you do not want reported and to provide an identity theft report.
To learn more about identity theft and how to deal with its consequences, visit
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore, or write to the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau. You may have additional rights under state law. For more information, contact your
local consumer protection agency or your state Attorney General.
In addition to the new rights and procedures to help consumers deal with the effects
of identity theft, the FCRA has many other important consumer protections. They are
described in more detail at www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.

Always check the application instructions provided by the employer. When in doubt, you can also reach out to clarify their specific submission process.

  5. Is there a deadline for submitting the application?

    Many employers stipulate a deadline for applications, which can vary by organization and position. It is essential to submit your application as soon as possible, ideally as soon as you see the job posting. Late applications may not be considered, so aim to get your form in before the deadline, if one is specified.

  6. What if I made a mistake on the application?

    Mistakes happen, and it’s important to handle them properly. If you notice an error after submission, contact the employer immediately to explain the mistake. Depending on the employer, you may be permitted to submit a corrected form. Always double-check your application before sending it to minimize these scenarios.

  7. What happens after I submit the application?

    After your submission, the employer will review your application. This process may take time as they assess all candidates. If your application stands out, you might receive a call or email for an interview. Keep an eye on your email and phone for any communication. Meanwhile, it’s also wise to continue your job search until you secure a position.

Common mistakes

Completing an employment application is an important step in the job search process. Unfortunately, many candidates make common mistakes that can hinder their chances of getting hired. Recognizing these pitfalls can help applicants present themselves in the best light possible.

One frequent mistake is providing incomplete information. Employers use applications to get a clear picture of a candidate’s qualifications and experience. When applicants skip sections or leave information blank, it can raise red flags. Filling out every part of the form accurately is essential.

Another common error involves spelling and grammar mistakes. Attention to detail is crucial; a well-written application reflects professionalism. Simple typos or grammatical errors can suggest that an applicant may not be detail-oriented or dedicated to their work.

Some candidates tend to exaggerate their qualifications or experiences. While it may be tempting to embellish, honesty is key. If an applicant is caught misrepresenting their skills, it can lead to immediate disqualification from the job or even termination later on.

Additionally, many people forget to customize their application for each job they apply for. Submitting a generic application can make it seem like an applicant isn't really invested in that specific role. Tailoring responses to reflect the job description helps demonstrate genuine interest.

Many individuals also neglect to read the application instructions thoroughly. Incomplete or improperly submitted applications can be a result. Taking the time to read the guidelines ensures that all requirements are met and can prevent simple oversights.

Another mistake is failing to include relevant work experience. Some applicants may focus too much on older jobs or unrelated experiences. Highlighting skills and achievements that are pertinent to the position can make a significant difference. It is beneficial to keep the employer's needs in mind.

Some candidates forget to showcase their accomplishments. Instead of simply listing job duties, providing specific examples of successes can set an applicant apart. Relevant metrics or achievements give employers insights into what candidates can bring to their organization.

Furthermore, not preparing for follow-up questions related to the application can be overlooked. Applicants should be ready to discuss anything they have written about. Practicing answers to potential interview questions can provide confidence and clarity when discussing experiences.

Lastly, some people neglect to proofread their applications thoroughly before submission. A final review can catch small mistakes that might have been overlooked earlier. Taking a moment to double-check the application ensures that it remains polished and professional.

Documents used along the form

The Employment Application PDF form is an essential document for potential employers and applicants. In addition to this form, several other documents are commonly required during the hiring process. Each of these documents serves a specific purpose and collectively helps employers assess a candidate's suitability for a position.

  • Resume: A summary of a candidate's work experience, education, skills, and qualifications. Resumes provide a quick overview of an applicant's professional background.
  • Cover Letter: A letter from the applicant that introduces themselves and explains why they are a good fit for the position. This document allows candidates to express their enthusiasm and highlight specific experiences.
  • References List: A list of individuals who can vouch for the applicant’s qualifications and work ethic. Typically includes at least three contacts who can provide insight into the candidate's abilities.
  • Background Check Consent Form: This consent form authorizes the employer to conduct a background check on the applicant, which may include criminal records, credit history, and other relevant information.
  • Tax Form (W-4): This IRS form is used by employees to indicate their tax withholding preferences. It helps employers determine the appropriate amount of federal income tax to withhold from employee paychecks.
  • I-9 Form: Required for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for work in the United States. It ensures compliance with immigration laws.
  • Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA): A legal document that restricts the applicant from disclosing proprietary information learned during the hiring process or employment, protecting the employer’s confidential information.

All these documents play a vital role in the hiring process, providing clarity and structure. It is important to ensure that each document is completed accurately and submitted on time to facilitate a smooth application experience.
