     | Monday, March 06, 2000 - 09:21 am  I was going over my mother's credit report with her and her old employer MTA is showing up on the report as Insurance claim pending, unsecured. Is it legal for them to report that my mother has a claim with them. It is showing as a High Credit of $3000, terms 149. Can anyone shed any light. Thanks.

Also, this could possibly be construed as *medical information*, which is prohibited from credit reports by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, unless the consumer consents. Since it is obviously listed incorrectly, send a dispute letter to the credit bureau involved. Also request the contact information for whoever reported. Contact Worker's Compensation and see if you can get an explaination. Good Luck. http://www.cardreport.com

Probobly hoping to find her in dire financial situation thus giving her a motive to file a false workmans comp claim. (since in w/c eyes everybody is a fake)
