CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Goldman Scarlato & Karon, P.C. has filed a class action lawsuit against Consumerinfo.com, Inc. in federal court in California on behalf of a Los Angeles consumer and a proposed nation wide class of consumers. The lawsuit claims that Consumerinfo.com, Inc. violates California consumer laws by misrepresenting in advertisements that it offers “credit scores” used by lenders in determining an individual’s creditworthiness, but it does not sell what it advertises. Rather, the complaint alleges that Consumerinfo.com sells a “credit score” based on an in-house scoring system that is not actually relied upon by lenders (as are actual credit scores), in determining an individual’s creditworthiness. The lawsuit asserts that Consumerinfo.com, Inc.’s advertisements on such Internet sites as www.freecreditreport.com, www.freecreditscore.com and Consumerinfo.com, violate California consumer laws by misrepresenting that Consumerinfo.com offers a credit score used by lenders in determining an individual’s creditworthiness, failing to deliver credit scores used by lenders as advertised and failing to disclose to consumers the truth about what the company actually sells.
The plaintiff is represented by Goldman Scarlato & Karon, P.C., a law firm specializing in class actions with offices in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The action is brought on behalf of a proposed nationwide class of consumers who purchased a “credit score” from one of Consumerinfo.com, Inc.’s Internet sites, www.freecredit.com, www.freecreditscore.com, or Consumerinfo.com, Inc.
