Customer Files Lawsuit against Comcast Over Credit inquiry

Chicago resident Keith Santangelo has filed suit against cable company giant Comcast, alleging that it did an unauthorized credit check on him after he specifically asked Comcast customer service not to do so, and after he paid a $50 deposit to ensure that his cable service would begin. Federal law forbids a company to obtain a customer’s credit report if the customer has not given consent. More here (including a copy of the complaint) from the International Business Times.
