This lawsuit, filed in in the United States Federal District Court for the District of Massachusetts is to enforce NCLC’s FOIA request sent to the Social Security Administration regarding its contract with LexisNexis for the Accurint database.

Many reports of false matches have been brought to light, as Lexis and SSA are attempting to argue this product is not a consumer report under the FCRA.
NCLC joined AARP, Consumer Federation Of America, Indiana Legal Services, Inc., and The Sargent Shriver National Center On Poverty Law in an amicus brief primarily prepared by Public Citizen and the Center For Responsible Lending in support of the Indiana Attorney General’s certiorari petition to the U.S. Supreme Court. Indiana, which regulates auto-title lending, sought to apply its law to title loans made by Illinois lenders to Indiana residents when the loans were advertised in Indiana and the lenders registered liens in Indiana and repossessed cars in Indiana– but the loan contracts themselves were signed over the border in Illinois.
