            ``(6) Rules of construction.--Nothing in this subsection 
        shall be construed to prohibit information from being furnished

        States obtaining or disclosing credit reports, records, or 
        information contained therein in violation of this subsection 
        is liable to the consumer to whom such records relate in an 
        amount equal to the sum of--
                    ``(A) $100, without regard to the volume of records 
                involved;

                enforce liability under this subsection, the costs of 
                the action, together with reasonable attorney's fees, 
                as determined by the court.
            ``(9) Disciplinary actions for violations.--If a court 
        determines that any agency or department of the United States 
        has violated any provision of this subsection and the court 
        finds that the circumstances surrounding the violation raise 
        questions of whether or not an officer or employee of the 
        agency or department acted willfully or intentionally with 
        respect to the violation, the agency or department shall 
        promptly initiate a proceeding to determine whether or not 
        disciplinary action is warranted against the officer or 
        employee who was responsible for the violation.
            ``(10) Good-faith exception.--Any credit reporting agency 
        or agent or employee thereof making a disclosure of credit
