FCRA Claim Is Dismissed vs. 1 Defendant but Not Verizon

Plaintiff Miranda Bennett reached a settlement of her Fair Credit Reporting Act claims against defendant Spring Oaks Capital, a furnisher of consumer credit information to consumer reporting agencies, said her notice Tuesday (docket 2:23-cv-00091) in U.S. District Court for Southern Alabama in Selma. Her claims against the remaining defendants, including Verizon and the three major credit reporting agencies, “remain pending,” said the notice. Bennett alleges she was victimized by inaccurate credit reporting when a fraudulent Verizon account was left to fester on her credit profile, and Verizon and the credit agencies did nothing to investigate it or remove it (see 2303160051).
