Small business owners still need information and education to
comply with the act
ITASCA, Ill. (September 20, 2005)-More than three months after
the latest provision of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions
Act (FACTA) went into effect, a survey by zTelligence and Fellowes
Inc. showed that small business owners are still unfamiliar with
FACTA and the significant impact it can have on their business.The
results from an online poll taken in July of 2005 of over 500 small
businesses found very few businesses are aware of FACTA. When asked
what acts or regulations they had heard of, FACTA was recognized
by only 13.1% of respondents. Enacted in 2003 with the final provision
taking effect on June 1, 2005, FACTA requires all business owners
to properly dispose of personal information that is derived from
consumer reports. Anyone that does not comply could be subject to
penalties if found liable.
