The Latin American Agents Association said two of its agent representatives have filed a class action suit against technology reporting firm ChoicePoint alleging the company failed to protect customer information and violated agreements not to sell information to third parties.
The suit filed on Sept. 19 in U.S. District Court Central District of California in Los Angeles charges misleading advertisement, fraudulent business practices, and misrepresentation of fact.
The agents Miguel Rodrigues of Wizard Insurance in Chatsworth and Deane Silke of Fiesta Auto Insurance in Long Beach, both in California, say that the Atlanta-based firm failed to maintain their clients' data and sold that data to third parties who are competitors of the agents.
