Description

These cases involved allegations that defendants violated the FCRA by failing to provide plaintiffs with notice of alleged adverse actions in setting insurance premiums based on adverse credit scores. Both the Safeco and GEICO district courts granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants and the Ninth Circuit reversed. In overturning the Ninth Circuit, the Supreme Court held that a “willful” violation under §1681n extended to “violation[s] committed in reckless disregard of” the FCRA requirements. Safeco , No. 06-84, 127 S. Ct. at 2205.
