Wrongly Accused of Terrorism and Drug Trafficking: A Case Study of One U.S. Navy Official’s Battle

Berger Montague will discuss the firm’s recent success in a Fair Credit Reporting Act case involving allegations that class members were wrongly flagged as potential terrorists and drug traffickers and were denied access to credit as a result. The lead plaintiff in the case, Mr. Fernandez, was denied a mortgage after he was reported as a potential match for a drug trafficker, even though he had a different age, name, and date of birth than the suspected trafficker. He was also a cybersecurity official in the U.S. Navy with a Top Secret clearance.
