Legally, credit bureaus can give information only to the following: creditors who are thinking of granting or have granted you credit; for employment, promotion, reassignment, or retention; insurance companies giving you a policy or reviewing an existing policy; government agencies reviewing your financial status or government benefits; and anyone else with a legitimate business need for the information, such as a landlord. Credit bureaus also provide reports if called for by court orders or federal jury subpoenas. They will also furnish reports to third parties if requested through writing by the person concerned.
