Supreme Court (Cal.) Holds FCRA Does Not Pre-Empt State Law Remedies for Disclosure of Private Medical Information to CRAs in the Course of a Dispute Over a Medical Debt

In Brown v. Mortensen, 2011 WL 2409912 (2011), the California Supreme Court held that FCRA only preempted claims against furnishers based on duties to provide accurate information and to take action upon being notified of a dispute and that FCRA did not preempt CMIA claims based on disclosure of medical information to CRAs.
