ID Fraud Plaintiff Agrees to Withdraw Her Motion to Compel Discovery From AT&T

Plaintiff Linda Surrency and defendant AT&T agreed to withdraw Surrency’s April 2 motion to compel discovery from AT&T (see 2404040035) and AT&T’s April 16 opposition to that motion (see 2404170003), said their joint notice and stipulation Tuesday (docket 8:23-cv-02323) in U.S. District Court for Middle Florida in Tampa. Surrency’s motion sought an order compelling AT&T to provide “complete answers” in discovery to her 10 interrogatories and 13 document requests. She contended she issued discovery requests to AT&T covering “central factual issues” in the case, but that AT&T refused to fully provide "responsive information and documents." Surrency’s Fair Credit Reporting Act complaint alleged that AT&T, Equifax and the National Consumer Telecom & Utilities Exchange (NCTUE) were “plainly deficient” in their investigations of Surrency’s credit reporting dispute over identity theft (see 2310160035). Surrency contends she learned that she was the victim of identity theft when she was informed that a credit reporting agency was associating her with a DirecTV account that was fraudulently opened in Texas under her name. She since settled her claims against Equifax and the NCTUE.
