I hope the lawsuit is a victory for consumers against Experian. It is fraud -- plain and simple. Their consumer business model is based on tricking people into thinking they are getting a credit score that lenders use. Instead, consumers get numbers that mean absolutely nothing and are usually nothing close to their FICOs. Consumers shouldn't have to go through their website with a fine-tooth comb looking for tiny disclaimers saying the scores are for "educational purposes only", when the scores don't even "educate" anybody about anything, since they are inaccurate.
Starting Score: TU: 566
I'm not sure if an actual credit report is included in the price but, the worst part, in my opinion, is putting out money for absolutely nothing (i.e. FAKO score). I hope that this lawsuit will prevail for the plaintiff and Experian will be forced to put a real FICO score out in the marketplace once again.
