Under the FCRA, can any person check a person's credit information without a legitimate need?

True.
False.

The correct answer is: False.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), access to an individual's credit information requires a legitimate purpose. This regulation is designed to protect the privacy of consumers and ensures that credit information is used only for specific and authorized purposes, such as applying for credit, employment screenings, or renting housing. Therefore, without a legitimate need, it is prohibited for any individual or entity to access another person's credit information. This framework establishes safeguards to prevent misuse and unauthorized access to sensitive financial data, aligning with consumer protection principles.
