Illinois Federal Judge Dismisses Conspiracy Claims Against Credit Bureaus in FICO Antitrust Case

In a recent legal decision, an Illinois federal judge determined that the three major credit bureaus did not conspire with Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) to establish a monopoly, stating there was no incentive for such actions. However, the judge concluded that credit score buyers presented adequate evidence for some of their antitrust claims against FICO. This ruling represents a significant development in the ongoing legal battles over credit score market practices. Further details on the case can be found in the Law360 article.
