PRESS RELEASE
Legislative Recovery Fee
In 2003 Congress enacted a new law
aimed at prevention and help for victims of identity theft.
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003 (FACTA) added new sections
to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.),
intended primarily to help consumers fight the growing crime of identity theft.
Accuracy, privacy, limits on information sharing, and new consumer rights to
disclosure are included in FACTA.
The new provision of this law went into effect June 1, 2005. The act allows
consumers to request and obtain a free credit report once every twelve months
from each of the three nationwide consumer credit reporting companies
To help defray the cost of developing and maintaining a system that permits
consumers to obtain their free annual credit report the bureaus (Trans Union,
Experian and Equifax) have imposed a surcharge on all credit reports issued.
We strive to provide the best possible customer service in the industry while
offering lowest possible price to our customers. This surcharge however,
jeopardizes our ability to provide exceptional customer service and it has
become necessary to include a “legislative recovery fee” on your monthly billing
beginning January 1, 2008.
