This allows 3 different credit reports and victims of identity theft never know that someone is using their own name but your social security number. The victim then cannot get credit from a lender because someone else is already using it...... 40039@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_HR_2568.html?rev=7614 <p>H.R. 2568 would amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to establish additional reporting requirements to enhance the detection of identity theft.</p> <h2 id="toc0"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>Credit Agencies Identity Theft Responsibilities Act of 2007 - Amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act to require a consumer reporting agency which has reason to suspect identity theft to: (1) report such suspicion to the U.S. Secret Service; and (2) inform the Attorney General for criminal prosecution.</p> <p>Requires the Secret Service to forward such information to either the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), respectively, if it has reason to believe that a suspected case of identity theft involves any suspicion of terrorism or immigration violations.</p> <p>Cites factors for suspicion of identity theft.</p> <p>Requires a consumer reporting agency to review, at regular intervals, all information on consumers it maintains or controls in order to determine whether there is any basis for suspicion of identity theft.</p> <p>Sets forth criminal penalties for agency failure to comply with this Act.</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc1"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 6/5/2007: Referred to House committee.
