| Equifax Information Services LLCsource ↗ filed by The Consumer Lawyers, PLLC · No. 8:26-cv-02661 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.25M–$100M ▾Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital shows FCRA furnisher claims often dismissed for lack of private right of action or insufficient pleading, while Askins v. CRST confirms bare statutory disclosure violations can still confer standing. Equifax's litigation history (Bradberry settlement, multiple pending filings) shows recurring exposure but case-specific facts drive outcome. Comparable settlements $2.25M–$100M median $3.25M · 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 Inc. — illustrates common dismissal grounds for FCRA furnisher claims (no private right of action, insufficient pleading) directly applicable here. Main risk: Dismissal of specific FCRA counts for lack of private right of action or insufficient factual allegations, as in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital. This defendant: Equifax has settled similar FCRA claims before (Bradberry $2.2M) and faces multiple concurrent FCRA filings (McClary, Ali, Porter, Harris, Janson), suggesting repeat-litigant exposure pattern. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$2.50M Small, heterogeneous comparable set; unclear if case is individual or class action, materially affecting valuation range. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 1 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | M.D. Fla. | 2026-09-11 | $2.25M–$100M comparable settlements |
