      Sec. 36a-699d. Credit report for use in credit transaction not initiated by consumer. (a) A credit rating agency shall not provide a credit report for use in a credit transaction which is not initiated by the consumer if the consumer notifies, in writing, the credit rating agency that the consumer does not consent to that use.

      (b) Each credit rating agency shall annually publish in a publication of general circulation in the state a notice that information in its credit files may be used in connection with a credit transaction which is not initiated by the consumer. A consumer may notify the credit rating agency of his election to be excluded from credit transactions which are not initiated by the consumer by writing to the address provided in the notice for such election. Compliance with the requirements of this section by any credit rating agency constitutes compliance by the agency's affiliates.

      (c) As used in this section, "credit transaction which is not initiated by the consumer" does not include a request for a consumer report by a person with which the consumer has an account for purposes of reviewing the account or collecting on the account or a request for a consumer report by an employer in accordance with 15 USC 1681b.
