From attorney Len Bennet’s House testimony at http://www.house.gov/apps/list/hearing/financialsvcs_dem/osbennett061907.pdf
… More recently and more tragically is the case of Kenneth Baker. Mr. Baker had his financial life combined with that of a similarly named total stranger by all three CRAs. The bureaus placed tax liens and defaulted accounts on his credit file and made it impossible for him to move on and survive a difficult part of his life. Mr. Baker took his own life in 2006. The CRAs were mentioned prominently in Ken’s final note to his surviving daughter who now fights for some principled justice. …
I have searched Google, but incredibly, I found absolutely NOTHING about Kenneth Baker’s suicide or his daughter’s lawsuit.
Please post a comment or contact me if you have any information about the lawsuit.
