Suit Against TRW Dismissed by Judge

TRW Inc. said Monday that a Wyoming federal judge has set aside a $290,000 judgment and dismissed a lawsuit brought by a consumer who had alleged that errors in his TRW credit report led to rejection of his application for a car loan.
The case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Clarence A. Brimmer last month after TRW discovered new evidence that showed that Paul K. Jacques’ credit report was accurate, and not inaccurate as he had claimed.
Jacques had argued that TRW had put negative information on his credit report that actually belonged to his father. TRW, whose credit reporting unit is based in Orange, found that the negative information actually belonged to the Wyoming plaintiff.
