The Fair Credit Reporting Act governs the collection, use, and disclosure of consumer-report information. Choice B is correct because an insurance applicant must receive appropriate notice when an insurer may obtain a consumer report or investigative consumer report in connection with underwriting. Consumer reports can contain information relevant to an insurer’s evaluation of risk, including credit-related information and other data permitted by law. The notice requirement promotes transparency and gives applicants the opportunity to understand that reporting information may be used in the underwriting process. The remaining choices concern different legal issues. Interest on premium loans is governed by policy and insurance-law rules, not the FCRA. Unfair discrimination is addressed through insurance regulation and unfair-trade-practice standards. Interest for late claim payments is governed by applicable claims-handling requirements, not the FCRA. The FCRA permits insurance companies to obtain consumer reports only for a permissible purpose and imposes duties regarding notices and adverse actions when report information is used.
