Last week, a Ninth Circuit panel held that plaintiffs in five related cases lacked standing to pursue their FCRA claims. Specifically, the Ninth Circuit held that the allegation that a credit report contained misleading information, absent any indication that a consumer tried to engage in or was imminently planning to engage in any transactions for which the alleged misstatements in the credit reports made or would make any material difference, does not constitute a concrete injury.

A recent decision by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York¹ found that a UCC-3 termination statement filed on behalf of a secured creditor was not effective because it lacked the proper authorization.
