A Chicago man believes Sprint violated federal law in disclosure forms it provided him before checking his credit when he was applying for a job. And since he believes the company has done the same with others, he has asked a judge to allow him to bring a class action against the telecommunications company. Roberto Rodriguez Jr. filed a complaint in Cook County Circuit Court Oct. 20, naming Sprint Corp. and Sprint/United Management Company, which manages Sprint’s subsidiaries, as defendants and alleging violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In addition to class certification, Rodriguez has asked the court to declare Sprint violated the FRCA and that it acted willfully, in knowing or reckless disregard of Rodriguez’s rights and its own FCRA obligations. He is requesting statutory and punitive damages and legal fees.
