Squitieri & Fearon, LLP is currently investigating lenders’ unlawful practices of pulling consumers’ credit reports without cause or consent. Credit reports contain personal information that is protected by federal law. Lenders can only check a person’s credit report for a reason expressly authorized under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. However, lenders systemically overstep their authority by invasively collecting consumers’ personal information to use for their own gain. Not only do such intrusions violate consumers’ privacy, they also lower consumers’ credit scores, thus jeopardizing approvals for loans or even employment. more »
Fifth Third Bancorp Shareholder Investigation Into Management Misconduct And The Stock Drop
Squitieri & Fearon, LLP is investigating claims that the Board of Directors and officers of Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB) were derelict in their duties in allowing employees to corruptly cross-sell services to Fifth Third’s existing account holders by signing them up for costly and unwanted additional services and accounts so that employees and managers could meet quotas for new business. Managers and officers were rewarded through compensation bonuses for such illegal cross selling. This conduct appears to have started as early as 2008 and continued through at least 2016, despite the fact that by 2010 Fifth Third’s “whistleblower” line had logged numerous complaints and credible reports of corrupt practices.
Now, Fifth Third has been charged by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with violating at least a half dozen federal laws in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in Illinois.
As a result of Fifth Third’s conduct and the federal agency lawsuit, Fifth Third‘s stock price has dropped approximately 20% and Fifth Third is threatened with fines and other penalties by the CFPB. In addition, Fifth Third has paid bonus compensation to its managers and executive officers that was earned as a result of the illegal practices.
Squitieri & Fearon, LLP is investigating claims to hold the directors and officers accountable for their conduct and dereliction of duties and harm to Fifth Third.

Squitieri & Fearon, LLP has filed a federal lawsuit against Heartland Payment Systems, Inc., one of the largest credit card processors in the U.S.
The suit was filed in the District Court of New Jersey and accuses Heartland of charging customers “unjustifiable fees – sometimes retroactively” – in flagrant disregard of the promises Heartland made to merchants. Among other things, the lawsuit alleges that in 2014 Heartland announced that merchants would be able to process American Express transactions through Heartland at the same rates that they process Visa and MasterCard transactions. But in October 2014 Heartland violated those promises by retroactively charging its customers higher fees for processing American Express than they were paying to process their Visa and MasterCard transactions. Those charges showed up in the October 2014 account statement in a section called “Other Processing and One-Time Fees” and were labeled as “American Express Fee Adjustment”. The lawsuit alleges that these fees were unauthorized and that Heartland improperly charged merchants across the country for these fees. Then, beginning in November 2014 Heartland started charging merchants much more to process American Express than it charged to process Visa and MasterCard transactions, creating enormous, unauthorized profits for Heartland at the expense of its merchants, many of whom are small businesses.
Heartland increased its profits by tens of millions of dollars by doing so and violated its contracts with merchants. Plaintiff seeks to recover those improper charges and has asserted the claims as a class action for merchants across the country who processed American Express transactions with Heartland in 2014.
