Under the final rule, the nationwide CRAs must establish a “centralized source� for accepting consumer requests for free credit reports (called annual file disclosures in the final rule). This centralized source must include a dedicated Internet Web site, a toll-free telephone number, and a postal address.
One of the rules of the centralized source is it “May collect only as much personally identifiable information as necessary to process requests.”
