(LitigationNews) January 8, 2009—Dr. Tameira Hollander filed suit against her former patient Barbara Bailey and her husband John Bailey and against CreditSuit.org blog owner Christine Baker.  Ms. Baker found the summons, complaint and temporary restraining order outside her garage on December 12, 2008 and she removed her blog as required by the court’s order.  Ms. Baker seeks legal representation to vacate the TRO and to litigate this case to discourage future frivolous and harassment suits against consumer activists.

Consumer activist Christine Baker sued Focus Receivables Management LLC and its collector James Hurd after he ignored her legitimate dispute, continued to collect and threatened to report a disputed DirecTV debt to the credit bureaus unless she paid the bogus $250 debt.  Focus denies that it violated the FDCPA and Ms. Baker now seeks a competent attorney to represent her.

The FACT Act of 2003 requires regulators to issue guidelines and regulations for creditors and collectors who report to credit bureaus to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information they furnish.  Despite the FCRA requirement to report “complete” account information, Capital One refuses to report the credit limits to make it more difficult for account holders to obtain credit from competitors.
