| EQUIFAX INFORMATION SERVICES LLCsource ↗ filed by The Consumer Lawyers, PLLC · Judge Antonio M. Pozos · No. 2:26-cv-06374 · 12:1786 Termination of insured Credit Union Status · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $1.65M–$100M ▾Minano v. DLJ shows FCRA claims often dismissed for lacking private right of action or insufficient pleading, a real risk here; but Askins shows bare statutory FCRA violations can survive standing challenges. Equifax has settled similar disputes repeatedly, suggesting litigation risk is taken seriously even if individual claims are dismissed early. Comparable settlements $1.65M–$100M median $2.33M · n=10 Equifax $100M · TransUnion $8.31M · Trader Joe's $7.40M Per member (realized): ~$102 median · $25–$500 (n=3) Comparable verdict: TransUnion, LLC $40M Key precedent: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital - directly parallels likely Equifax defenses (no private right of action, insufficient factual allegations) under several FCRA provisions. Main risk: Early dismissal for failure to state a claim or lack of concrete injury, as in Minano (dismissed 4 of 6 counts) and Soul (FDCPA claim dismissed). This defendant: Six prior FCRA/FDCPA filings against Equifax Information Services show it is a frequent, high-volume litigation target with mixed but often costly outcomes. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$30M Small, heterogeneous sample; case appears individual not classwide, so EV range spans vastly different scenarios depending on certification and claim survival. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 1 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | E.D.
