What the document says

“``(II)(aa) has originated a current residential mortgage loan of the consumer to whom the consumer report relates;”

To amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to prevent consumer reporting agencies from furnishing consumer reports under certain circumstances, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

The second way for the other person to meet the condition set out in the paragraph added to section 604(c) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act is an existing relationship with the consumer. The person qualifies if that person originated a current residential mortgage loan of the consumer, is the servicer of such a loan, or is an insured depository institution or credit union that holds a current account for the consumer. The requirement that the transaction be a firm offer of credit or insurance still applies.

“``(II)(aa) has originated a current residential mortgage loan of the consumer to whom the consumer report relates;”

That sentence, in plain words

The other firm made your home loan and it is still going.

What this is about

This is a second way to pass the test. The firm may also be the one you pay each month. Or it may be a bank or credit union where you have an account.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
