Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the summary judgment under review as to the defamation count because the evidence concerning the bank’s allegedly inaccurate reporting of the plaintiffs credit record raises jury questions as to its liability for compensatory and punitive damages.

The judgment on the claims for interference with business relationships is affirmed. See Florida Power & Light Co. v. Fleitas, 488 So.2d 148 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986); Ethyl Corp. v.
