Spotting Viable Impermissible Pull Claims under the FCRA – 2023

Many consumers feel growing concern about their privacy.  As news stories on data breaches emerge almost weekly, consumers are anxious about which of their information is out there and who can see it. An increasing number of consumers closely monitor their credit report to find out who is looking at their credit. This webinar will teach lawyers to identify when access to a consumer’s credit report is permissible and when such access gives rise to claims under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This webinar is geared to beginner and intermediate attorneys with a basic understanding of the FCRA and who are interested in litigating impermissible claim cases.
