Did you know that your credit report could impact your ability to rent an apartment, land your dream job, or even get a cell phone plan? Whether you’re a student just starting your financial journey, a parent co-signing a loan, or a business owner making credit-based decisions, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) plays a crucial role in protecting your personal financial data.
