Credit Protection for Americans Unlawfully Detained or Held Hostage Abroad.
This law protects US citizens who were unlawfully detained or held hostage abroad from suffering negative financial consequences upon their return. Credit reporting agencies are prohibited from including adverse credit information that originated during the period of their captivity. To qualify, individuals must provide official documentation authenticated by relevant government hostage recovery entities.
