Turner v. Experian Information Solutions, Inc.

In this case and roughly 20 others with which it was consolidated, the consumer plaintiffs argued that Experian had violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by treating as suspicious correspondence purportedly sent by the plaintiffs. The parties, with the trial court’s agreement, selected this case as the bellwether, and, upon completion of the briefing, the trial court granted Experian a complete victory on summary judgment. The trial court’s decision was affirmed by the Sixth Circuit, resulting in the dismissal of the entire set of cases.
