Selected Answer: A

In jurisdictions that regulate the distribution of personal credit information (such as under the Fair Credit Reporting Act [FCRA] in the U.S. or similar laws in other countries), a fraud examiner like Leslie can generally obtain an individual's credit report and personal data from a third-party information broker if she has the individual's written consent. Consent is typically required to access personal or sensitive financial information. This protects privacy and ensures that data is only shared for legitimate, authorized purposes.
