true, accurate and current information about yourself as prompted by the
registration and application forms on this Web Site. By registering on this Web

information solely for accessing your credit report to verify your identity and
to provide for the credit monitoring service.
FCRA Disclosures
The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows you to obtain a copy of
your consumer credit report from any consumer credit reporting agency for a
reasonable charge. The FCRA also states that individuals are entitled to
receive a disclosure directly from the consumer credit reporting agency free of
charge under the following circumstances:
-
You have been denied credit, insurance or employment in the past 60 days as a
result of your report
-
You certify in writing that you are unemployed and intend to apply for
employment in the 60-day period beginning on the day you make the certification
-
You are a recipient of public welfare assistance
-
You have reason to believe that your file at the agency contains inaccurate
information due to fraud
-
If you are a resident of Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
or Vermont, you may receive a free copy of your consumer credit report once
each year, and if you are a resident of Georgia, twice each year.
The Act also permits consumers to dispute inaccurate information in their
credit report without charge. Accurate information cannot be changed.

Services or Content or a portion thereof, with or without notice. You agree
that ConsumerInfo.com will not be liable to you or any third party for any
modification or discontinuance of any of the Services or Content.
Disclaimers
Because we use security measures to protect your privacy and to safeguard your
information, we may not always be able to provide online delivery of your
credit report. If the online verification system is unable to verify your
identity, you will be routed through a manual authentication process. After
your identity has been verified, we will send a private access code via U.S.
mail to the address in your credit file, which you can use to access your
report online. This process is normally complete within 5 to 7 business days.
As an online customer, you are agreeing
to receive all notifications via email at the email address on file with CIC. To
ensure receipt of all notifications, you are obligated to update the email
address on file when your email address changes.
ConsumerInfo.com is not responsible for any overdraft/over-the-limit charges or
bank fees if your account contains insufficient funds when your order is
processed and billed.
We recommend using a credit card rather than a debit card. Note to ATM/Debit
Card users: Canceling too close to end of trial or renewal date may cause a
processing delay and a charge to your account. Although this charge will be
refunded, refunds can take 7-10 days to be processed.
