Plain-English Summary

Congress is considering blocking a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw a rule about credit reporting companies sharing consumer credit files. If approved, this would prevent the agency from backing away from requirements that make it easier for people to see and understand their credit information. The measure would affect credit reporting agencies and consumers who rely on access to their credit files.
