Moody Jr. · No. 8:26-cv-02167 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements –$7.40M ▾Minano v. DLJ Mortgage shows courts routinely dismiss FCRA furnisher claims lacking private right of action, while Askins v. CRST confirms bare statutory disclosure violations can still confer standing. Equifax has repeated FCRA/FDCPA filings, suggesting recurring but often narrowly-surviving claims. 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 - illustrates high dismissal risk for FCRA furnisher theories unless properly pled with specific factual allegations. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to state a claim under FCRA private-right-of-action limits, as seen in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital. This defendant: Equifax faces recurring FCRA/FDCPA filings (McClary, Ali, Porter, Jover, Pringle, Sanchez), suggesting systemic reporting-accuracy disputes. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $100K–$5M Small comparable sample; case may be individual not class, inflating per-member estimates if scaled incorrectly. · grounded in 10 rulings, 8 settlements, 1 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | M.D. Fla. | 2026-07-27 | –$7.40M comparable settlements |
