Congress is trying to block a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw a rule that regulated how credit reporting companies can share and use consumer credit information. If approved, this would force the agency to keep the original rule in place, which sets limits on who can access your credit report and for what purposes. This affects anyone with a credit history and the financial companies that use credit reports to make lending decisions.
