- The right to obtain a free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus - Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
- The right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information on their credit reports.
- The right to have outdated or negative information removed from their credit reports after a certain period of time.
- The right to request a fraud alert or credit freeze to protect against identity theft.
