EPIC has requested that the FTC launch an “investigation into data broker products for compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.” EPIC argues specifically that AutoTrackXP and Customer Identification Programs from ChoicePoint “are sold to financial institutions, members of the public (private investigators, law firms, etc.) and to law enforcement agencies. These are the same institutions which rely on credit reports and investigative consumer reports, but these new products are sold outside the protections of the FCRA, yet are often used for related (and sometimes identical) purposes.”
