GREENVILLE, S.C. – The three major credit reporting bureaus hurt consumers by allowing some credit card issuers to not report their cardholders' credit lines, according to a lawsuit filed by a Greenville, South Carolina man.
This hurts consumers, William Harris Sr. charged, because it lowers the consumer's score thus making it more difficult and expensive to get credit.
