In this credit society, personal credit has become an indispensable part of our lives. Whether it is buying a house, buying a car, taking a loan, or finding a job or renting a house, it is inseparable from the "endorsement" of personal credit. However, there has been controversy over whether banks need the consent of the individual to inquire about personal credit reporting. Today, we're going to unravel the mystery.

First of all, we need to make it clear that the bank needs the consent of the person to inquire about personal credit. This is clearly stipulated in the "People's Republic of China Personal Information Protection**" and the "Regulations on the Administration of the Credit Reporting Industry". When collecting and using personal information, all units and individuals must follow the principles of legality, legitimacy, and necessity, and must not collect or use their personal information without the consent of the information subject.

So, why do some people think that banks don't need their consent to check personal credit information?This is mainly due to some misunderstandings and misleading.

The bank does need the consent of the person to inquire about personal credit. Moreover, this consent must be explicit and voluntary. If the bank checks your credit without your consent, then they may face legal sanctions.

However, in real life, some people may be unknowingly checked by the bank for personal credit. What's going on?

It turns out that some banks, in order to improve work efficiency, will assume that you have agreed to their credit inquiry when you apply for a loan or credit card. In this case, if you don't explicitly object, the bank will assume that you have given your consent to their credit check.

So, how can we avoid this?

First of all, we need to be clear about our rights and interests. We know that banks need our consent to check personal credit information. Therefore, when we apply for a loan or credit card, we must carefully read the relevant agreement to see if there is a clause on credit inquiry. If so, we need to make it clear whether we agree or not.

Second, we need to learn to protect our personal information. We know that personal information is our privacy and we have the right to protect it. Therefore, we must be cautious when providing personal information. If we feel that a bank's actions have violated our rights, we can file a complaint with the relevant authorities.

Finally, we want *** personal credit. We know that personal credit is an important basis in our lives. So, we need to check our personal credit report regularly to see if there are any anomalies. If there is, we will deal with it immediately.

In general, the bank does need the consent of the person to inquire about personal credit. Moreover, this consent must be explicit and voluntary. We must learn to protect our rights and interests and avoid being infringed. At the same time, we also need to maintain a good credit history for personal credit reporting.
