Red Flag Rules and Identity Theft

Identity Theft and Red Flags Rules

Investopedia Says:
Identity theft is committed many different ways. Some identity thieves sift through trash bins looking for bank account and credit card statements; other more high-tech methods involve accessing corporate databases to steal lists of customer information.

Red Flag Rules have been established so that business owners
establish safeguards to protect Consumer identity information
and have a Plan of Prevention of the loss of confidential information.

The FTC will request this during any Audit of Red Flag Enforcement.

Red Flag Compliance is a written plan and policy for the specific
business operation...which is why any company offering automated
solutions or "cookie cutter" fill-in-the-blank products cannot fulfill
the FTC Guidelines to be Red Flag Compliant.

Each business and industry runs in it's own way and each is
unique and a Doctor's Office does not operate the same as a
Property Manager, Mortage Broker or Auto Dealership...
all of whom MUST have Red Flags Certification.

We have the Solution to your Red Flags Compliance

We would like to invite you to a special Tutorial Webinar
to let you see and hear the Real Facts of the Red Flag Rules.

Tuesday September 15th--8:30pm - 9:30pm EST

On the webinar Lee will be addressing the following:

Red Flag Rules and Identity Theft

Stealing the identity of others by using their credit card, drivers license, social security or other personal identification numbers has been increasing in mind boggling numbers in just the last five years.

Not only can the thieves run up bills for the victims, but identity thieves can also commit crimes pretending to be the victim, who may have enormous difficulty proving otherwise.

The easy access and automation on the Web has caused identity theft to increase rapidly.

In 1998, the U.S. Congress made identity theft a federal offense.

Red Flag Compliance Rules for Mortgage Brokers

Red Flags FTC enforcement has been set for November 1, 2009
but Red Flag Compliance for Mortgage Brokers and others who
qualify are in effect NOW under the Red Flag Rules.

Mortgage Brokers and Lenders come under the "Creditor"
and "Covered Accounts" categories.


"FACTA’s definition of “creditor” applies to any entity that regularly extends or renews credit – or arranges for others to do so – and includes all entities that regularly permit deferred payments for goods or services."

"Some examples of creditors are finance companies; automobile dealers that provide or arrange financing; mortgage brokers..."
Federal Trade Commission Website


IF YOU THINK THIS IS A "MINOR" ISSUE...GUESS AGAIN

Mortgage Lender Will Pay $50,000 Civil Penalty for Violating FCRA Disposal Rule (December 18, 2007)

Mortgage Servicers Agree to Pay $28 Million to Settle FTC Charges, Including Failure to Report Consumer Disputes to Credit Bureaus as Required by the FCRA (September 9, 2008)

FTC Charges Mortgage Broker With Violations of FCRA and Disposal Rule, Seeks Monetary Civil Penalties (December 30, 2008)

Mortgage Lender Pays $20,000 to Settle FTC Charges That Its Prescreened Loan Offers Lacked Proper Opt-Out Notice (08/18/2009)

PERHAPS THESE STORIES WILL CONVINCE YOU...
THE FTC IS WATCHING AND THEY ARE HANDING OUT FINES

Failure of Mortgage Brokers to Comply with Red Flag Rules
can leave the Broker open to Civil Litigation which may extend
to Class Action...and the Broker will Still Have to Become Compliant
(and, perhaps be subjected to Monthly Audit of continued Compliance).


HOW CAN I BECOME RED FLAGS COMPLIANT?

You should go to this Website and see about the Services

You are Invited to Attend one of the Red Flags Webinars
The Webinars are for Referral Partners of the Service
however, it is an open Q&A and you may attend...

FTC Red Flag Rules

The FTC did not do much to give Businesses a good explanation
of the Red Flag Rules for the last enforcement date of August 1,
so a postponement of FTC enforcement set a new deadline, which
is currently November 1, 2009.

Many businesses and business owners felt uninformed and were
confused about not just whether they actually had to comply
with this "Red Flag thing" but also "what the heck does the FTC
have to do with this and why do they care?"

Well, partly because it is a little know fact that
The primary oversight of the credit reporting agencies/Bureaus,
mortgage brokers and others as to their activities covered by
the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is covered by the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) just as the Lenders, Banks and
Credit Unions (Financial Institutions) are regulated by the FDIC.

All FDIC oversight of large Financial Institutions was required
to be completed in 2008. However, many smaller shops, such
as Hard Money Lenders, Mortgage Brokers, and Credit Unions
have failed to move to Compliance at this time.

The Federal Reserve has oversight on federally-chartered banks
but it is the FTC that Mainstream America will be dealing with
as the Federal Government moves to place more responsibility
for Consumer Identity Theft protections at points of contact.



IMPORTANT CRITERIA UNDER FTC RED FLAG RULES

  • Do they Take a Credit Application or Pull a Credit Report?
  • Then they have to be Red Flags Compliant

EVERY Mortgage Broker, Regardless of Size of the Office
Must be Red Flags Compliant

Landlords and Real Estate Management Companies
Must be Red Flags Compliant
(a Landlord or Property Management Company would not
necessarily have to be Compliant for current Tenants known
to them, but would be required to be Compliant for any new
vacancies involving new applications to rent and pulling any
Consumer Credit Reports

Red Flags Identity Theft Prevention Program

According to a report of the President’s Identity Theft Task Force, identity theft (a fraud attempted or committed using identifying information of another person without authority), results in billions of dollars in losses each year to individuals and businesses.

The final rules require each financial institution and creditor that holds any consumer account, or other account for which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk of identity theft, to develop and implement an Identity Theft Prevention Program (Program) for combating identity theft in connection with new and existing accounts. The Program must include reasonable policies and procedures for detecting, preventing, and mitigating identity theft and enable a financial institution or creditor to:

  1. Identify relevant patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that are “red flags” signaling possible identity theft and incorporate those red flags into the Program;
  2. Detect red flags that have been incorporated into the Program;
  3. Respond appropriately to any red flags that are detected to prevent and mitigate identity theft; and
  4. Ensure the Program is updated periodically to reflect changes in risks from identity theft.

Red Flags is a Follow up to Data Protection

"Identity Theft is fully out of control," said National Red Flags
Compliance expert Lee Holden.

"in 1999 there were approximately 1 million victims of identity
theft. Currently there are about 14 to 15 million victims each
year," said Holden.

"Twenty five people every minute of every day, 24/7. When
I do a one hour Webinar on Red Flags Compliance, in just that
one hour, 1500 people will have been effected by some form of
identity theft."

And, who needs to be compliant, Holden was asked.

"Anyone who originates a loan, even a Doctor's Office," said Holden.

"Why even a Doctor's Office? There are at least three reasons,"
Holden said.

"One, they send bills after the patients have left the office.
Also, the individual is ultimately the one responsible for the
payment (so, in essence, the office has extended credit) and
a third reason is the Doctor may bill and collect co-payments,
after any insurance makes their payments.

How Does Red Flags Compliance Work?

There is so little Mainstream News about the FTC mandatory
Red Flags Compliance, I think some wonder "what is this thing
all about," "How does Red Flags Compliance work" and who" the
heck needs to to worried about it anyway?"

Well, the Red Flags Compliance is a real program...it is, in fact,
the Law RIGHT NOW! What has been delayed is the FTC
Enforcement of the Law...but those who need to be Compliant
need to get compliant RIGHT NOW...it IS the law and, current
actions today do indeed count as violations of the Red Flag Rules.

Health-care providers must have “reasonable” policies
and procedures in place...but, how does that work?

Pharmacies must guard against identity theft for Red Flags
Compliance (and must have a policy in place).

Auto Dealerships need Compliance and each dealership that
required, have its own in-store compliance officer.

The Federal Trade Commission/FTC is now providing additional
resources and guidance to clarify whether businesses are covered
by the Red Flags rule and what they must do to comply...but, do
you wait for the FTC to see how it works or are you saying, now
"How does the Red Flags certification work?"

We invite you to our Red Flag Compliance Webinar-
a comprehensive overview of RedFlagsCompliant
with National Red Flags Expert Lee Holden

What are the 26 Red Flags of Lending?

As you investigate your need and responsibility to get Compliant
in the Red Flags program, you must be asking...What are the
FTC Red Flags, anyway? Are there 2 or 9 or 100?

Well, there are 26 total Red Flags identified for Compliance.

Not every business is going to need to comply with the same
combination of Red Flags.

What is important is that the Red Flags are reviewed and, if you
find Red Flags that directly relate to your business, then you
MUST, under Federal Law, comply with the Identity Theft Act
known as the FACTACT that covers Consumer Protections.

You must have a plan to safeguard identities and a manual of
ongoing Compliance as a business plan of operations.

Red Flag Rules Enforcement

Red Flags Compliance Expert Lee Holden will be giving a
series of Webinars explaining the complicated topic of the
Red Flag Rules Enforcement and postponement by the FTC.

Lee delivered the first Webinar given anywhere regarding
the latest Federal Government postponement of enforcement
of the Red Flags Rule and what it means to your business in a
special Webinar presentation on Tuesday August 4th.

Enforcement had been due to begin August 1st...
the FTC postponed the enforcement just days earlier...

POSTPONEMENT OF ENFORCEMENT OF RED FLAGS--
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOUR COMPLIANCE???

While the ENFORCEMENT of Red Flags date has now been
pushed back to November 1st...

The COMPLIANCE date is a separate matter. The mandatory
Compliance date has PASSED, therefore, don't be confused
about this...IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO BE COMPLIANT
YOU ARE ALREADY SUPPOSED TO BE CERTIFIED...
AND, YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE whenever the
Enforcement begins, for violations that take place NOW!

FTC Extends Red Flag Compliance Again

RED FLAGS EXTENDED AGAIN

FTC Again Extends the Deadline for Red Flags Rule Enforcement
until November 1, 2009.

Originally schedule to go into effect on November 1, 2008
the Enforcement date had been pushed back to August 1st
until this second extension made just days before Enforcement
was due to become official.

Despite the Enforcement dates, the Red Flags Rules are currently
in effect, it is currently law...it is simply not yet being enforced by
the FTC.

A number of industries and entities within the FTC’s jurisdiction expressed confusion and uncertainty about what entities would be subject to the Rule and what the Rule itself required of those "covered" entities ("covered" entities is a term within the Red Flags Law that can be
read as "responsible" for Compliance).

To assist small businesses and other entities subject to the Rule, the FTC issued new resources and guidance and again extended the compliance deadline.

The Red Flags Web site offers resources to help you determine if you are "covered" (again, this means "responsible" for Compliance) and, if you are "covered", how do you comply with the Rule?

You may request a Free Red Flags Guide from the Red Flags Compliant
Website, just enter your email address and it will be sent to you.
This information does not go into any marketing database and the
information for the Free Guide will not be sold or abused in any way.

Red Flag Rules and the FACT Act

FACT Act-amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act to help reduce identity theft. The act established Red Flag Rules.

A business that pulls credit or extends financing must be certified
under the Red Flags Compliant rules.

Identification of Possible Instances of Identity Theft (Red Flag Rules)

The act established so called Red Flag Rules to create regulations regarding identity theft prevention.

A key item was the requirement that mortgage lenders provide consumers with a Credit Disclosure Notice.

The Red Flag Rules apply to a very broad list of businesses including "financial institutions" and "creditors" with "covered accounts".

For a better understanding of Red Flags Compliance, you can
find a summary of the Red Flags Rules to find out if your business
needs to to be certified compliant on the Wikipedia site, see:

Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act

Additonal information to Get Your Company Compliant

This IS the Law NOW. Even though enforcement has not begun
the law is in place and you have exposure to huge Federal fines
as well as local Civil Litigation if you are discovered to not be in
compliance (which is to say, CERTIFIED Red Flags Compliant).
