The Challenge
Our client, a victim of identity theft, had their credit file mixed with the thief's information. Despite sending multiple dispute letters with police reports, the credit bureau refused to correct the errors, causing the client to be denied a mortgage.

Our Strategy
We filed a lawsuit under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), alleging willful non-compliance. We aggressively sought discovery to prove the bureau's automated systems were known to be flawed and that they ignored the specific evidence provided by our client.
