FCRA Claims vs. Verizon Are Dismissed, Sending Them to ‘Contractual Arbitration’

Plaintiff Israel Mertz and defendant Verizon agree Mertz’s Fair Credit Reporting Act claims against Verizon should be dismissed without prejudice because the claims will proceed to “contractual arbitration,” said their stipulation Tuesday (docket 7:22-cv-10938) in U.S. District Court for Southern New York in White Plains. Mertz alleged inaccurate and misleading information provided by Verizon led to erroneous debt collection actions (see 2212300022). Mertz previously dismissed his FCRA claims against Equifax, but his claims against TransUnion remain pending.
