Beaudry v. TeleCheck Servs., Inc., No. 08-6428

In a Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) action claiming that Defendant credit agency wrongly classified Plaintiff as a first-time check writer, the dismissal of the action is reversed where FCRA's private right of action does not require proof of actual damages, as a prerequisite to the recovery of statutory damages for a willful violation of the FCRA.
