CFPB Helps Survivors Mitigate the Financial Consequences of Human Trafficking
Today, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
issued a final rule to help survivors avoid some of the
financial consequences of human trafficking. The CFPB has
established, among other things, a method for survivors of
trafficking to submit documentation to credit reporting
companies that identifies any adverse item of information
that resulted from human trafficking. The rule prohibits
credit reporting companies from providing a report
containing the adverse items of information.
