"a public service lawyer has agreed to take the case and fight back with demands for $75,000 in compensation." . . . "Michelman said the $75,000 compensation amount is in the high range of a typical award for acts in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act." This is an old story now, already discussed extensively here on Hacker News. The new information here is simply that the couple has a lawyer, who can afford to represent them on speculation because of a federal law that allows recovering damages from a company that tries what KlearGear is alleged to have tried in this case. We'll know the final outcome after the litigation proceeds, but I predict a good result for the Utah couple. The previous discussion eleven days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6742410 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6742410 went back and forth over most of the issues raised by this story. Bottom line: the couple has to follow certain procedures to respond to a credit agency report about their behavior, and the credit agency report about their personal credit history seems to have other adverse information (reported in one of the sources discussed in the earlier thread). All's well that ends well, and I expect this case to end well for the couple and badly for KlearGear.
