Re: Christine Baker v. Trans
Union, LLC; Cause No.: 801 2001 CV 1751 UN; In the Justice Court of Mohave
County, Kingman, AZ
Dear Ms. Baker:
Settling this case would require your approval
and signature on a Confidential Settlement, Release,
and Indemnity Agreement and a Stipulation of Dismissal
with Predjudice prepared by Trans Union. Only the
Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice is filed
with the court and if the Judge approves the Stipulation
of Dismissal with Prejudice he will sign an Order
of Dismissal with Prejudice which would conclude
this case.
Trans Union has a standard Confidential
Settlement, Release and Indemnity Agreement which contains
various provisions including the requirement that the
specifics of the settlement not be disclosed, that you
do not file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission,
Attorney General offices, etc. about this case, that
you review your credit file, which would be attached,
and verify the accounts accurately appear, that you
have had the opportunity to consult with an attorney
and have signed that the parties have resolved the controversy
between them but does not go into further details. Also,
because the Stipulation and Order of Dismissal are with
Prejudice, it means that you can not file another lawsuit
against Trans Union over the same issues which in this
case would be the investigation of your file where Trans
Union requested your social security number and you
didn't send it in. You do not waive any future rights
to sue Trans Union if for example an error appears on
a future credit report. It would only apply to
this case.
As you know, when Trans Union received
your dispute another "possible" file came
up. Trans Union has standard procedures in place when
"possible" files come up when a consumer credit
file is accessed. These procedures are time tested as
the best and safest way to get to the bottom of any
possible confusion between files, to determine who a
"possible" file belongs to, and/or to prevent
any consumer or fraud perpetrator from obtaining a credit
file on someone else other than him/herself. This
is why your social security number was requested.
We are still waiting on a response from
Professional Recovery. I will forward your updated
credit file to you as soon as I receive it.
Please let me know as soon as possible
whether you would like to settle this matter. If
you settle, you would not have to answer the discovery
that I sent you. It would also relieve me from filing
additional motions with the Court. As soon as
you tell me you are willing to settle, I will notify
Trans Union and have them write you a check for $250.
As soon as I receive back the signed settlement
papers, I will forward the check to you.
Very truly yours,
Amanda Lewis
