The Federal Trade Commission said Thursday it finalized an order
against Dun & Bradstreet Holdings Inc. for deceiving businesses
about the value of products they offered and for failing to correct
credit report errors.
In a complaint first announced in January, the FTC alleged that
businesses complained of errors in credit reports and that Dun
& Bradstreet, a provider of business credit report services,
failed to provide an appropriate process to fix the errors.
The FTC said it is ordering the company to respond to disputes
filed by businesses by either deleting the disputed information or
again investigating the information to confirm accuracy within an
appropriate time period.
The FTC said it is also ordering the company to provide refunds
to businesses harmed by its practices.
After receiving three comments, the FTC voted 4-0 to approve the
complaint and settlement order and send responses to the
commenters.
