FLA. WOMAN SUES EQUIFAX OVER CAR LOAN DENIAL
A Florida woman has sued Equifax claiming she was denied a car loan because of a 130-point mistake in her credit report that she says was part of a larger group of credit score errors the ratings agency made this spring due to a coding problem. The class action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Atlanta on behalf of Nydia Jenkins and potentially millions of others. The lawsuit says the errors violated federal law that governs credit reporting agencies. “We do not take this issue lightly,” Equifax said.
