In May 2022, FAST convened 25 participants from the US, Canada, and UK - survivors, survivor support organizations, and financial institutions - in a roundtable discussion on credit repair. The roundtable discussion covered issues both within and beyond the FAST mandate, but focused on how interconnected issues could be addressed by financial institutions and other relevant agencies/organizations working on credit repair. 

This Insight Briefing provides the sector with an understanding as to what survivors’ needs are on this specific topic and their recommendations on how they can potentially be addressed.
