In a related action, the CFPB filed a lawsuit against Experian, the largest credit reporting agency, for keeping inaccurate information on consumers' reports in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Consumers had routinely raised issues with flagrantly false information showing up on their credit reports, which potentially harmed their loan application status. The CFPB found that Experian didn't take proper measures to investigate these errors, would uncritically accept the word of third parties transmitting this sensitive personal data, and even on several occasions reinstated the false information after temporarily taking it down.
