Holly, who is married to Grant, applies for a credit card from Marlin's Department Store, but she is turned down because she is a married woman and the store's policy is to only issue cards in the name of the husband in such situations. What are her legal rights in this situation?
Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Holly is entitled to notification of the specific reasons for the denial of her credit. If the denial is based upon her sex (or marital status), she could successfully maintain a cause of action against Marlin's Department Store under this act. She may be able to recover actual and punitive damages, plus attorneys' fees.
