<p>PHOENIX – A bill requiring credit reporting bureaus to provide copies of their reports to consumers whenever copies are sent to lenders has been introduced in the Arizona Legislature and is likely to draw the opposition of the Arizona Credit Union League.

The bill aimed at the bureaus for failing to correct faulty information and giving consumers a chance to fix errors was introduced by State Sen. Ed Cirillo (R-Sun City). The bill due for a hearing Wednesday in the Senate Commerce Committee would entitle Arizona consumers copies of their credit reports any time an agency sends one off to a paying customer.
