The High Court ruling said that CTOS has no power to formulate credit scores, but the company says that the ruling is unrelated to the lawsuit against them. CTOS plans to file an appeal to fight against the High Court ruling. The agency also mentioned that it has been following all necessary steps to ensure data validity and is audited yearly as part of the license renewal process.
