Divorce makes life difficult for parents. But Experian Information Solutions Inc. made divorced parent Adam Berry's life even more difficult when it allegedly published information in his consumer report falsely claiming he owed spousal and child support. It did so even after he sent the company court orders he claimed showed he had no outstanding support obligations.
In Berry v. Experian Information Solutions, No. 23-1961, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reversed the district court's granting of Experian's motion for judgment on the pleadings regarding Berry's Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) claims. The court held Berry sufficiently pleaded Experian violated the FCRA by continuing to publish the allegedly inaccurate information about his support obligations despite receiving the court orders.
