| EASTON COACH COMPANY, LLCsource ↗ filed by Francis & Mailman Pc · Judge John Michael Gallagher · No. 5:26-cv-05143 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements –$7.40M ▾FCRA/FDCPA claims show split outcomes across comparables: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage dismissed several FCRA counts for no private right of action while others were dismissed without prejudice for pleading defects, but Askins v. CRST held bare disclosure violations confer standing and survived decertification. Wright v. Portfolio Recovery shows courts can favor consumers when statutory attachment/proof requirements aren't met. Comparable settlements –$7.40M median $2.23M · n=4 Trader Joe's $7.40M · RentGrow $2.25M · Equifax $2.20M Per member (realized): ~$102 median · $102–$102 (n=1) Key precedent: Askins v. CRST Expedited - most analogous if this involves FCRA background-check disclosure defects for Easton Coach drivers/employees, supporting survival of bare statutory violation claims. Main risk: Dismissal for lack of private right of action or insufficient pleading, as in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage where multiple FCRA counts were dismissed outright. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$150K Small, privately-held defendant with no prior litigation record; class size and injury theory are speculative absent case-specific filings. · grounded in 10 rulings, 4 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | E.D.
