• rejecting a fraud claim because “Equifax was under no duty to disclose its own interpretation of its contractual obligations or the fact that it was contemplating asserting the defense of discharge.”
• actionable fraud cannot be predicated upon promises to perform some act in the future or on a mere failure to perform promises made
• “The general rule is that actionable fraud cannot be predicated upon promises to perform some act in the future. Nor does actionable fraud result from a mere failure to perform promises made.”
