How courts have described this case

• reasoning that the plaintiff’s “speculation” that a credit report was misleading was “insufficient as a matter of law to establish a prima facie case of inaccuracy in violation of § 1681e(b)”
• affirming grant of summary judgment for defendant on FCRA claim, where plaintiff relied on his own “mere speculation” that the defendant’s notation in his credit report was misleading and had “no evidence that the notation was mis-perceived” by a bank’s credit department
• Trans Union accurately reported an account as “included in bankruptcy,” even though it was not the plaintiffs bankruptcy
• “[Plaintiff’s] mere speculation that the notation [“Included in Bankruptcy”] was misleading, without more, is insufficient as a matter of law to establish a prima facie case of inaccuracy in violation of § 1681e(b).”
• “other than simply stating that [the defendant] did not adequately and reasonably reinvestigate his dispute, [the plaintiff] points to nothing in the record to show that [the defendant’s] reinvestigation somehow fell short of . . . § 1681i’s requirements.”
• “mere speculation . . . without more, is insufficient”
