Description:

Fort Worth, Texas consumer credit lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued on a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation theory.

15 U.S.C. 1681 provides:

(1) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.
(2) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers.
(3) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers.
(4) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer’s right to privacy.

Outcome: Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58, all claims are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE to their refiling. All costs of Court under 28 U.S.C. § 1920 shall be borne as agreed by the parties, or, if no agreement has been reached, by the party incurring them. (Ordered by Senior Judge Terry R Means on 7/3/2024) (mmw) (Entered: 07/03/2024)
