31-3-114. Compliance procedures. (1) Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of 31-3-112 and 31-3-113 and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under 31-3-111. These procedures must require that prospective users of the information identify themselves, certify the purposes for which the information is sought, and certify that the information will be used for no other purpose. Every consumer reporting agency shall make a reasonable effort to verify the identity of a new prospective user and the uses certified by the prospective user prior to furnishing the user a consumer report. A consumer reporting agency may not furnish a consumer report to any person if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the consumer report will not be used for a purpose listed in 31-3-111.
(2) Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report, it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates, and it shall maintain a record of all persons using the information and the source of each piece of information.
(3) When gathering information, a consumer reporting agency shall notify any person who furnishes information that the person is liable to suit if the information is false or furnished with malice or willful intent to injure the consumer.
