The Privacy Commission is proposing a limit on fees charged for urgent requests regarding personal credit information.
Last month the commission said the country's biggest credit reporting agency, Veda Advantage, was gaming the system by demanding a fee of nearly $52 if people wanted to see their information in less than 20 days.
An inquiry found that was five times the recommended amount.
The commission is suggesting the fee be limited to $10 and says fees for immediate information requests should cover only costs.
