| Clarity Services, Inc.source ↗ filed by Ethan B. Babb PLLC · Judge Melissa Damian · No. 0:26-cv-62058 · 28:1441 Petition for Removal - Fair Credit Reporti · view case timeline → Comparable settlements –$7.40M ▾FCRA furnisher claims often survive only partially, as in Minano v. DLJ (private-right-of-action counts dismissed, others allowed to replead); Askins v. CRST shows disclosure-based FCRA claims can survive standing challenges. No ruling directly involves Clarity, so outcome remains uncertain. Comparable settlements –$7.40M median $2.23M · n=8 Trader Joe's $7.40M · Xactus $2.40M · RentGrow $2.25M Per member (realized): ~$301 median · $102–$500 (n=2) Comparable verdict: TransUnion, LLC $40M Key precedent: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital — shows FCRA furnisher claims frequently dismissed for lack of private right of action or insufficient pleading, a likely hurdle here. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to state a claim or lack of private right of action under specific FCRA sections, as in Minano. This defendant: Multiple prior FCRA/FDCPA filings (Griffin, Campbell, Ardley) suggest recurring litigation exposure for Clarity Services. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $150K–$9M Small, indirect comparable sample; no case-specific facts or certified class data available, so range is broad and speculative. · grounded in 10 rulings, 8 settlements, 1 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | S.D.
