Human Trafficking Victims
Instructions for Submitting a Request to Block Adverse Information
Federal law provides protections for consumers who are victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons or sex trafficking. A consumer reporting agency (“CRA”) may not furnish adverse information that resulted from such trafficking when the consumer provides the required trafficking documentation.
If you are a victim of human trafficking and believe that adverse information contained in your consumer file resulted from trafficking, you may submit a request to Voyint to have the applicable information blocked from your consumer report.
To submit a request, please provide:
-
Appropriate proof of identity. This may include any of the following:
-
First, Middle, Last Name
-
Any other or previously used names,
-
Current and/or recent full address (street number and name, apt. no., city, state, and zip code)
