Description
This case originated in 1983 as a debt collection action by May Department Stores (Hecht's) against Eugene Beard and Alberta
Roberts to recover funds charged to a credit card in Beard's name. Beard counterclaimed against Hecht's, alleging in substance
that the credit card had been fraudulently obtained in his name by Ms. Roberts, a former girlfriend, without his knowledge
or consent. Beard claimed that. Hecht's had negligently issued the card without verifying the information on the application.
He maintained that as a result of the disclosure of the purportedly due balances to CBI, a credit reporting company, his credit
rating and creditworthiness had been substantially impaired. Beard joined as additional counter-defendants a number of other
retail merchants which had likewise allegedly issued credit cards in his name, or jointly in his name and in his erstwhile
inamorata's name, upon Ms. Roberts' unauthorized application. This case, now No. 87-464, came to be known as Beard I. 1 Beard and a second plaintiff, Bernice Elam, subsequently brought a separate suit against several of his adversaries in Beard
I, alleging violations of the consumer protection laws. The gravamen of the new complaint was that these companies had failed
to register as retail creditors, as required by the District of Columbia Consumer Retail Credit Regulations, 16 DCMR §
102.1 (1987). This case, now Nos. 86-1327 through 86-1331, came to be known as Beard II. 2 Beard I and Beard II have been
consolidated for purposes of this appeal.
