If that is true, then how is it that credit bureaus and those who report information to them can stay in business without being sued to death?
While it may be a problem if you broadcast to the world that X doesn't pay his bills, if asked, I think you can truthfully answer the question in terms of your experience with the person/firm, and I don't think you have to lie and say the person/firm always paid bills on time if he/it didn't.
