Adverse Action Notice

An Adverse Action Notice is a letter sent approximately 7 to 10 business dates after a person has had a credit based application (credit, loan, employment, insurance, etc.) denied. It typically is used where an employer has gotten a credit or background report on a potential employee and have based your decision on their employment in part of this report. This letter should only be sent a reasonable amount of time after the employee has received the report and has not objected to the report under the pre action protocol.
