Crime victims credit protection.
(a) A creditor that is owed money for services provided to a victim as a result of the criminally injurious conduct inflicted on the victim shall not communicate any information about the debt to a consumer reporting agency during the pendency of an application for an award filed pursuant to G.S. 15B-7 or during the pendency of an appeal from a decision related to such an application.
(b) The victim bears the burden of notifying the creditor that the debt is subject to subsection (a) of this section.
(c) When a creditor has been notified by a victim that an application for a victim compensation claim is pending, the creditor may request monthly verification from the Commission that the application or appeal is still pending, and the Commission shall provide this verification.
