Plaintiff, AT&T, DirecTV Reach Settlement in Fair Credit Reporting Act Case

Linda Surrency and defendants AT&T and DirecTV resolved claims in a Fair Credit Reporting Act lawsuit, said a Friday notice of settlement (docket 8:23-cv-02323) in U.S. District Court for Middle Florida in Tampa. The parties are in the process of finalizing terms and expect to submit dismissal papers to the court within 45 days, said the notice. The parties ask that the court vacate all deadlines in the matter. Surrency reached a settlement with defendants Experian and the National Consumer Telecom & Utilities Exchange (NCTUE) in April (see 2404100026). Her October complaint (see 2310160035) alleged that AT&T, Equifax and the NCTUE were “plainly deficient” in their investigations of Surrency’s credit reporting dispute over identity theft.
