Proof Required?

A federal court has certified a class action lawsuit against TransUnion, one of the major credit reporting agencies, involving nearly 281,000 consumers. The lawsuit alleges that TransUnion failed to properly block fraudulent transactions and items from appearing on people's credit reports, even when consumers disputed these items. If you've had trouble getting TransUnion to remove fraudulent or inaccurate information from your credit report, you may be part of this class action. While the case is still ongoing and settlement details haven't been finalized, this certification is an important step forward for affected consumers.

How Much Can You Get?
