Summary of Your Rights Under the

Fair Credit Reporting Act

The company that you have made application to work for may wish to obtain a "consumer report" from a "consumer

reporting agency" when considering your application for employment.

A "consumer report" is any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a "consumer reporting agency"

bearing on the employment history, relevant criminal record or general qualification for employment relative to the

position for which the applicant is being considered. On limited finance related positions, a consumer's credit worthiness

or credit standing report will be collected. This information is collected for the purpose of serving as a factor in

establishing the individual's eligibility for employment purposes.

The terms "consumer", "consumer reporting agency", and "consumer report" are defined in the Fair Credit Reporting

Act (FCRA), which applies to you. Under the FCRA, you are a "consumer".

A "consumer reporting agency" is a person or business unit that, for monetary fees, dues, or on a cooperative nonprofit

basis, regularly assembles or evaluates consumer credit information or other information on consumers to furnish

"consumer reports" to others.

If this company obtains a "consumer report" about you, and if it considers any information in the report when making an

employment-related decision that directly and adversely affects you, you will be provided with a copy of the "consumer

report" and a summary of your rights under the FCRA "Release and Authorization" page. You also may contact the

Federal Trade Commission about your rights under FCRA.

Before this company can obtain a "consumer report" about you; you must give your consent in writing. After you have

read this page completely, please turn to the next page, which allows you to give your consent.
