A consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report in response to an order of a court having jurisdiction, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. A subpoena signed by a court clerk may not be sufficient. Possibly a subpoena issued by a State grand jury could still require the signature of a judge to qualify under this section. Always consult with actual legal counsel for an actual case. For an IRS Summons, a special exception exists. See "Order of Court" linked here. Link does not return to this page.
A copy of The Fair Credit Reporting Act, As Amended, and a copy of the FTC Official Staff Commentary to the Fair Credit Reporting Act are included under "Fair Credit Reporting Resources", available from LAWDOG Credit Reporting Center, or here.
