Attorney General Settles with Video Stores that Filed for Bankruptcy and Gave Customer List to Collection Agencies

Attorney General Chris Koster says the state has reached a settlement with the group handling the bankruptcy of Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery. He says after the stores filed bankruptcy, a number of Missouri customers complained that a third party collection agent reported negative information to credit bureaus, without giving the consumers notice or an opportunity to challenge. The trustee has agreed to withdraw all negative reports filed and collect no fees on any debts.
