Apparently you didn't read the article. So I'll quote the part that matters.

"The Fair Credit Reporting Act, which governs credit reporting, says that only a state's attorney general can sue a creditor for furnishing inaccurate information. But if the creditor doesn't fix the inaccuracy permanently and in a reasonable time, you can sue, even though the Fair Credit Reporting Act doesn't explicitly give you that option."

The reason that people can sue is on the grounds of the CRA not fixing inaccurate information. The article makes it very clear that the public uses those grounds to sue, not the grounds of providing inaccurate information. So yes you can sue and it happens all the time, people win quite often against the CRA's when they do their homework. Especially effective in a few states like Texas and California where you can also use State level laws in addition to the federal.

Pretty much everything you stated is wrong. You can sue all three of the consumer credit reporting agencies in small claims court assuming you followed the processes outlined in the federal laws for consumer protection.

Check out creditboards.com and the ficoforums.myfico.com and you will find multiple success stories of people suing one or more of the CRA's.

I can also say that from personal experience that merely making the threat to the CRA that you will be suing them in small claims court with proper citations will cause the CRA to fix their errors.

There are a lot of States are At-Will. In this case you can quit for any reason and the company can fire you for any reason*. So yes the company can and should fire you for tweeting nasty things about the company.

The only real issue here is that Obama promised the most transparent administration in history. Instead we have leak after leak showing that it is the most opaque administration. Not to mention corrupt and surprisingly the one area the Administrator isn't incompetent in, is the prosecution of killing terrorist.

If a woman's got the body to pull off tight jeans, then by god there is no reason to ditch tight jeans.

I was able to access contacts indirectly. Go into the gallery and share a picture and use messaging. At this point hit the + sign in the upper right. You are then in Contacts. You can view names and phone numbers. I wasn't able to figure out a way to edit contacts or get more details.

Also a matter of how it is done. Xcel Energy offers remote air conditioner shut-offs which gets people a small discount for the ability of Xcel to turn off their AC during high demands for short periods of time. If internet companies could phrase it right and discount right, some people might just take them up on the cap.

What a typical uneducated response to call some stupid if they disagree with you. There is no way he could have reviewed everything that was released, let me start with a remedial English definition lesson.

indiscriminate: done at random or without careful judgment.

Given his emotional state and the sheer volume of information released, there is no way he used careful judgement and it would be easy to argue the information he released was random. He grabbed everything he could get his hands on and released it

Hopefully he will be held up as an example to people who are newly granted clearances and to the people who perform the reviews. The new people need to know that it is serious, the reviewers need to do more to catch people like Manning.

It is on Slashdot because Manning is a "Hero" to a segment of the population who applauds oath-breaking and the indiscriminate release of classified information. Unlike Snowden, Manning acted like a two year old throwing a fit and decided to pee in his pool. Well now he has learned that his actions are going to cost him. Even when he gets out, he will have a rough time with a dishonorable discharge.

So the USPS can scan and retain a copy of every single item and find it for law enforcement requests, yet they can't put together a decent package tracking system and insist on delivery confirmation.

As a former IBM'er who's been gone almost a year, everything you said is spot on. Customers were getting more and more upset with the quality of service from India. The only things I'd add is that IBM totally messed up the implementation of LEAN and has become way to narrow. I was shocked when the India support team was broken down into Active Directory and Windows OS support teams. Getting anything done on a Windows server became just about impossible because tickets would get bounced between AD and OS.

I don't understand how she keeps getting elected. She doesn't respect the Constitution at all. Her latest attacks on the 2nd Amendment are failing, so she moves onto attacking the 1st. Really past time that she is stopped.

Personally I want to see something like the Eddie Eagle program required in all public education. As a gun owner my biggest fear is people like you who do not understand that a tool is just a tool. It is the use that the tool is put to that matters. All of my firearms are used for plinking and target practice, and it is an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. My car has a greater chance of killing someone then my guns, which is true of every single car out there when compared to every single firearm in private hands.

Move to Barstow CA, just because California is an economic and political hellhole doesn't mean there aren't cheap places to live.

Of course IBM has spent the last 3 or 4 years working on reducing the number of remote employees. Before I left last fall Dubuque, Iowa and Boulder, CO had become major centers for people being pulled back into the office. I know of several people who were told they had a choice to report to Dubuque or Boulder by a certain date or it would be considered a voluntary seperation by the employee. There were rumors that more and more groups were going to end up in the GDF's. Of course IBM cutting back on remote workers is just one small problem the company has and you are lucky to get out.

Believe it. When I worked at IBM, there was a certain automation team who let the critical SSL certificate for an ID provisioning tool expire not just once, but two years in a row causing a major outage to a large client.
