COSTA MESA, Calif.,
March 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Experian North America has issued the following statement in
support of today's historic CARES Act.
Craig Boundy, CEO of Experian
North America:
"These unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures.
Experian supports the signing of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (CARES Act). We are encouraged by this
historic effort to protect consumers and businesses alike. The
relief bill is a great step toward economic recovery, directly
supporting Americans through expanded unemployment coverage and by
providing grants and loans to small businesses.
"At Experian, we have an unwavering commitment to help consumers
and clients manage through this unprecedented period. We are
actively working with financial institutions, lawmakers and
regulators on tools and initiatives to protect consumers from
potential adverse consequences to credit reports and credit scores
as a result of financial hardship caused by the COVID-19
outbreak.
"Additionally, we remain focused on ensuring data integrity as
we lead industry initiatives to provide financial institutions
methods to clearly identity consumer accounts that are subject to
financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 and ensure that such
information is properly reflected in credit reports and scores.
"We've built a culture of continuous innovation at Experian,
from the way we work to the solutions we create. This has formed a
workplace where our teams across the world have a sense of purpose,
with a collective desire to help change the lives of millions for
the better.
"Now, more than ever, this is a crucial role we play as we work
to create innovative solutions and tools for consumers and
businesses to successfully navigate this evolving financial
landscape moving forward.
"Our support of the CARES Act is just one step of many, as we
support consumers and customers alike to help bolster the financial
ecosystem."
