In one eye-opening case, an Oregon woman named Judy Thomas sued Trans Union for allowing errors to remain on her credit report. She spent six years calling and writing to the company, trying to get Trans Union to permanently remove damning details -- such
as unpaid bills -- that belonged on another woman's report. Court records showed Trans Union mistakenly assumed Thomas was the other woman. Her report would be fixed one month only to show up tainted
again several months later. After hearing her story, a federal jury awarded Thomas $5.3 million last year for her trouble. While the judge reduced the award to $1.3 million, it was still a record. Trans Union wrote a check to Thomas
earlier this year. Source:
