The Consumer Credit (Conduct of Business) (Credit References) (Amendment) Regulations 2000
These Regulations amend the Consumer Credit (Conduct of Business) (Credit References) Regulations 1977 (“the 1977 Regulations”). The 1977 Regulations, as so amended, supplement sections 157 to 160 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (“the 1974 Act”), certain provisions of sections 7 and 9 of the Data Protection Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”) and the Consumer Credit (Credit Reference Agency) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/290), which together deal with the disclosure to consumers of information about their financial standing held by credit reference agencies and the correction of such information where it is found to be wrong or incomplete.
