[FN34] In light of the existing voluntary reporting system in the United States, Congress could have incorporated either of two fundamentally different regulatory approaches into the FCRA: the preventative approach or the remedial approach. for submitting, verifying, matching and re-investigating information on the credit files."

If an employer does not engage the services of a consumer reporting agency, it is not subject to the requirements of either law. However, the definition of a consumer reporting agency is very broad and includes all entities that regularly engage in the practice of assembling credit or other background information. Therefore, credit bureaus, detective agencies and background check services fall within the definition of a consumer reporting agency.
