Credit Report Accuracy: Right to Use Only Current Legal Name.
This law grants citizens the right to request that credit reporting agencies use only their current, legal name on consumer reports. Upon a consumer's request, any previous names (such as a maiden name) must be removed from credit reports. This change aims to enhance data accuracy and privacy, simplifying personal financial management.
