After Suzanne Sloane discovered that a thief had stolen her identity and ruined her credit, she notified the police and sought to have Equifax Information Services, LLC, a credit reporting service, correct the resulting errors in her credit report. The police promptly arrested and jailed the thief. But twenty-one months later, Equifax still had not corrected the errors in Suzanne’s credit report. Accordingly, Suzanne brought this action against Equifax for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C.A. § 1681 et seq. (West 1998 & Supp. 2007). A jury found that Equifax had violated the Act in numerous respects and awarded Suzanne $351,000 in actual damages ($106,000 for economic losses and $245,000 for mental anguish humiliation, and emotional distress). The district court entered judgmentin the amount of $351,000. In addition, without permitting Equifax to file a written opposition, the court also awarded Suzanne attorney’s fees in the amount of $181,083. On appeal, Equifax challenges the award of damages and attorney’s fees. Affirm in part and reversed and remanded in part.
