(1) Provide notification to the consumer that an adverse action has been taken in accordance with the requirements of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681m(a).
(2) Provide notification to the consumer explaining the reason for the adverse action. The reasons shall be provided in sufficiently clear and specific language so that a person can identify the basis for the insurer's decision to take an adverse action. Such notification shall include a description of up to four factors that were the primary influences of the adverse action. The use of generalized terms such as "poor credit history", "poor credit rating", or "poor insurance score" does not meet the explanation requirements of this Section.
