Executive Summary
A federal district court denied Bank of America's motion to strike class allegations in a putative FCRA class action alleging the bank failed to conduct reasonable re-investigations after receiving dispute notices about erroneous fraud reporting. The ruling is an interlocutory procedural decision that keeps the class action alive but does not resolve any liability or damages — it merely shifts the probability of eventual class certification.
