Lenders must provide you with credit scores and the sources upon which they were based if your loan was refused from them because of a less-than-favorable credit score. This requirement is a new ruling influenced by the Consumer Protection Act. It is mainly concerned with auto loans, mortgages, or other kinds of consumer loans. The ruling does not cover credit card rejections. The lender now has the responsibility of disclosing the consumer's credit score. It is hoped that the consumer would then seek out the full credit report from the credit report bureau.
