Doesn’t take that much time to slap a fraud alert on your credit and force this bureaucratic process of theirs to trigger.

Probably isn’t worth the legal fees though.

It likely is not. Just the filing fees in federal court can be close to $500 and I believe the ECOA requires the action be brought in federal court.

Could this be ripe for an automated lawsuit app, like the one to fight against bogus parking fines?

How many could be won before Google finally fixes it?

I wonder if Google would cut off accounts associated with suing Google.

That is one of my biggest concerns, although in this case that would hopefully be a PR disaster.

I would be surprised if they didn't.
