| Equifax Information Services LLCsource ↗ filed by The Law Office of Cortney E Walters, PLLC · Judge Kevin Michael Moore · No. 1:26-cv-25072 · 28:1441 Petition for Removal - Fair Credit Reporti · view case timeline → Comparable settlements –$7.40M ▾FCRA claims against CRAs often dismissed absent factual (not legal) inaccuracy, per Sykes v. Experian and Minano v. DLJ Mortgage; but Askins shows bare statutory violations can still support standing, and Equifax has settled similar suits repeatedly, suggesting litigation risk beyond pure dismissal. Comparable settlements –$7.40M median $2.23M · n=8 Trader Joe's $7.40M · Xactus $2.40M · RentGrow $2.25M Per member (realized): ~$102 median · $102–$102 (n=1) Comparable verdict: TransUnion, LLC $40M Key precedent: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital - shows courts readily dismiss furnisher/CRA FCRA claims lacking factual specificity, a likely template for early motion practice here. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead factual (vs. legal) inaccuracy, as in Sykes v. Experian (7th Cir.) and Minano v. DLJ Mortgage. This defendant: Six prior FCRA/FDCPA filings against Equifax show recurring litigation pattern, often resolving via settlement or early dismissal. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $225K–$11.25M Single realized per-member data point and small ruling sample make this a rough directional estimate, not a precise forecast. · grounded in 10 rulings, 8 settlements, 1 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | S.D.
