This notice and consent form is provided to you in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”). The

reporting agencies.”
In connection with your application and/or employment, and provided that you give written consent below, The
Groveland Fire Department may obtain a consumer report containing information about you. A consumer report is
defined as a written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on your
creditworthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, general personal characteristics, or
mode of living (including criminal history and background), which will be used or will be expected to be used or
collected whole or in part for the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing your eligibility for employment. Please
be informed and understand that you may obtain a copy of any such report, and that you may dispute the accuracy or
completeness of the information report to the City of Groveland Fire Department by writing or calling the consumer
reporting agency directly.

the consumer report(s) in whole or in part in arriving at a decision regarding my employment.

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.ftc.gov/credit or write to: Consumer Response Center, Room 130-A, Federal Trade
Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580.
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:
o a person has taken adverse action against you because of information in your credit report;
o you are the victim of identity theft and place a fraud alert in your file;
o your file contains inaccurate information as a result of fraud;
o you are on public assistance or
o 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.ftc.gov/credit 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.ftc.gov/credit 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 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.ftc.gov/credit.

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 1-888-5-OPTOUT (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.ftc.gov/credit.
Enforcement and other rights. 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.
