NJ Man Files Suit Claiming Bank Falsely Reported Him Delinquent To Credit Bureaus On Fully Paid Off Home Loan

In Branchburg, New Jersey, MyCentralJersey.com reports:

• For township resident Nikolaos Renieris, his one-man legal fight against one of the country's largest banks is a matter of both principle — and interest. Renieris [...] recently filed a lawsuit [...] against Bank of America. Renieris, representing himself in the case, is claiming the bank libeled him by falsely reporting to credit agencies that he was in default on a home loan that he had already paid in full. Because of those reports, Renieris said his credit score has been damaged and he is assessed 2 to 2.5 percent more in interest on loans and credit cards.

• Renieris said he decided to file the lawsuit after repeated unsuccessful attempts to have the bank correct the mistakes. Renieris said he suspects the "bureaucratic" mix-up could be connected to the title company in the property transaction.
