Martinez · No. 2:26-cv-14308 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements –$7.40M ▾Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital shows FCRA claims against furnishers/CRAs are frequently narrowed at MTD stage (no private right of action under several sections), while Askins shows disclosure-based FCRA claims can survive on bare statutory violation theory. Equifax's own settlement history ($2.2M twice, but also $0.0M outcome) shows high variance in case resolution. Comparable settlements –$7.40M median $2.20M · n=10 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, Inc. — directly parallels likely FCRA furnisher/CRA claims against Equifax, dismissing several counts for lack of private right of action. Main risk: Partial or full dismissal for failure to state a claim or lack of private right of action, as in Minano, especially for technical FCRA subsections. This defendant: Multiple recent individual FCRA/FDCPA filings against Equifax (McClary, Ali, Porter, Jover, Pringle, Sanchez) suggest recurring litigation pattern, not necessarily high-value outcomes. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$3M Single-filing snapshot; unclear if case proceeds as individual or class action, limiting precision of class size and total value estimates. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 1 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | S.D.
