A class action lawsuit alleged that during three weeks in March and April 2022, Equifax provided inaccurate credit information about millions of Americans applying for loans, insurance, or other services from businesses that use credit information. The lawsuit alleged this inaccuracy was caused by a coding error in one of Equifax's computer systems, constituting alleged violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
