Answer: (c) In the October 20, 2014 case of Dennis v. Trans Union, LLC, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 148753 (E.D. Pa. Oct. 20, 2014), the court denied Defendant’s motion to dismiss and allowed Plaintiff to proceed to conduct discovery on Plaintiff’s disclosure, the Section 609 claim, because Trans Union never disclosed the commercial data provider as the source of the information. The Court held that the data provider was a “source” under Section 609 and had to be disclosed.


CRA XYZ, Inc. provided its lender client a report on Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones disputed a tax lien that was contained on that report and contacted XYZ for a file disclosure under Section 609. XYZ had obtained this information from an intermediary vendor company and had not directly obtained the information from the county clerk. What should XYZ have done?

A. It should not have relied on an intermediary vendor company for the initial information.

B. It should have identified the county court where the lien was filed in its disclosure as the source of the information.

C. It should have identified the intermediary vendor company in its disclosure as the source of the information.

D. (b) and (c).
