Protecting trafficking victims from adverse credit report information.
New rules aim to protect human trafficking victims from negative information on their credit reports if such information resulted from their experiences. This will help victims rebuild their financial lives and avoid further difficulties accessing credit or housing.
Key points
Credit reporting agencies will be prohibited from furnishing adverse information about trafficking victims if it resulted from their traumatic experiences.
Victims of trafficking will need to provide specific documentation to qualify for this protection.
Federal and state government entities, as well as courts, can issue documentation confirming victim status.
