Just found out that there's a class action complaint filed against Experian in federal court in Santa, Ana, CA. I think it's called Taylor, et al. v. Experian Information Solutions, Inc.. The little blurb I read just said that the case arises out of Exp's (mis)handling of disputes. If anyone gets their hands on a copy of the complaint, I'd love to see it.

Re: Re: Re: Experian Class Action! Unfortunately, it was just filed in October so there's little info on it yet. There only a few pleadings in the court's file thus far. The court's docket shows Stull, Stull & Brody as plaintiffs' counsel, but when I called the firm, they said that the case wasn't theirs (maybe they thought I was from the media or something). In talking to one of the attorneys here, he wondered aloud what the common issues would be (in order for a class to be certified by the courts, certain commonalities of facts and law must be in place). Since the plaintiffs appear to be suing over Exp's dispute practices, it occurs to me that there might be enough commonalities (1. notice of dispute; 2. failure to correct/delete) to certify a class. Anyway, I'm begging my firm to try and get on board and sue EQ.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Experian Class Action! Any idea how can someone join a class action? Not this one, just any one ... I haven't gotten to the "suing" part yet, but might be there soon.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Experian Class Action! First, a class has to be certified by the courts, and that's not always a lock. Proof must be made that the initial plaintiffs in the case share essentially the same facts, and that the same laws apply to those facts. If certified, class notices are posted in places like newspapers, magazines, websites, mail, etc. You would then complete a claim form and mail it to the appropriate attorneys and you'd be added to the class. When it's settled, you get your $5.00 check and the attorneys collect their millions. Isn't America great!!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Experian Class Action! Well, looking from attorney's point of view, it couldn't be greater ... Seriously, it doesn't make much sence then. I'll probably go by myself ...
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Experian Class Action! Opting out of a class is usually a great way to go, if you have the time and patience.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Experian Class Action! I **think** this is about EXP refusing to investigate disputes that were sent to them by credit repair agencies on behalf of the consumers they contracted with.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Experian Class Action! Maybe it the attorneys get enough of their money they'll stop stealing ours.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Experian Class Action! No oxymoronage, please ... "attorney" and "enough money" - a word and a phrase too far away from each other ...
