Hi Mac, I`m thinking there has to be some sort of regulation they have to follow once they accept, but I don`t know where to find it. As far as I can tell, they do as they please because they are not challenged by any one in authority. I asked my C/P Trustee about this and was told they have no right to do this, and I was to call them. I did but was told they didn`t know what I was talking about. They denied doing this. (I called the ph # listed with the C/P). If you get your credit report by snail mail, your not charged, and you can get the ph # from the submission they make. I makes it hard to get a job, as I was turned down X2 for my credit rating.
Lots of luck to you
Darcie
