MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER   Plaintiff Hindy Klein (“Plaintiff”) brings this action against Experian Information Solutions, Inc. (“Experian”), Transunion, LLC1 (“Transunion”), Equifax Information Services, LLC (“Equifax”), American Express Company2 (“Amex”), and Chase Bank (USA), N.A. (“Chase” and collectively, “Defendants”) alleging that each willfully or negligently violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), 15 U.S.C. §1681, et seq.
