Lifelock and Experian are locked in a Lawsuit.  Lifelock is an identity theft protection service that issues fraud alerts to the credit reporting bureaus in the event of suspicious activity. The credit bureau Experian is up in arms and is attempting to prevent the firm from serving customers and filing these fraud alerts.

This apparently is another attempt by the credit bureaus to inhibit any actual protections that might benefit consumers in order to maintain their profits and reduce costs by not being forced to police potential fraud.
