CLEVELAND, Jan. 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United States District Court Judge Thomas S. Zilly of the Western District of Washington has ruled that a class action lawsuit against Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) will go forward. The lawsuit accuses Dun & Bradstreet of orchestrating a scheme to falsify credit reports in order to defame and cause significant harm to small businesses. Judge Zilly denied Dun & Bradstreet's motion to throw the case out of court in his recent order after hearing argument from the attorneys on January 9, 2014.
"The case is built upon evidence drawn from the experience of businesses across the country who found themselves with consistently false and inaccurate information placed on their D&B credit reports. When confronted by affected businesses, D&B refuses to identify the sources of such false information and instead directs customers to buy a product called 'Creditbuilder,' from the Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. (DBCC), to improve their credit reputation," said the plaintiff's attorney Jack Landskroner, from the Cleveland, Ohio-based law firm, Landskroner Grieco Merriman. "But at a cost," adds Landskroner.
