Wellstone Filters Sciences, Inc. and Learned Jeremiah Hand sued Ms. Christine Baker for defamation and obtained a court order requiring her to delete her previous press releases as well as all research and postings about her Wellstone Filters investigation and documentary.

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.
