LANCASTER, CA - CIC, a nationwide leader in tenant screening, is proud announce to the industry that through their partnership with the National Consumer Reporting Association (NCRA), an FCRA certification test specifically designed to educate those in the multifamily housing industry, is now available. The test is completely free to clients, and is offered to multifamily housing employees and staff at all levels who process and analyze credit reports and background checks, and who are responsible for dealing with consumers and making rental decisions.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) outlines very specific policies and procedures that every user of a tenant screening report should know and adhere to. Mistakes - intentional or not-can be expensive. There are consumers and attorneys who make a living looking for minute details that are overlooked, and CIC is aiming to protect their clients from becoming a defendant!
The process is as easy as "1, 2, 3":
1.) Clients of CIC contact their account manager to request the study guide(s) and test(s) for their staff.
2.) Test takers read through the guide to gain more knowledge about the FCRA before being tested.
3.) When ready, users log in with their credentials and take the test.
A certificate worthy of framing is delivered to each and every person who successfully receives their FCRA certification. In addition users are able to include another beneficial credential to their portfolio of experience within the multifamily housing industry.
