<h1>Credit bureau comic campaign raises intellectual-property, FCRA, FTC Section 5, truth-in-advertising and data-privacy compliance issues</h1> A major credit bureau announced a 25th-anniversary marketing and consumer-education campaign in partnership with a longstanding comic publisher, using a popular comic character and newly created mascots to explain credit concepts via a special-edition comic and print, radio and digital advertising. The release highlights reach metrics (over 7,000 institutional connections and 164 million self-monitoring consumers) and frames the initiative as promoting financial inclusion. Key legal considerations include intellectual-property licensing, compliance with financial-promotion and consumer-protection rules, truth-in-advertising obligations for score representations, and data-privacy and regulatory requirements for outreach and credit-report use.
