DLJ Mortgage Capital shows courts readily dismiss FCRA counts lacking a private right of action or factual specificity, a real risk for furnisher/CRA claims against Equifax. Askins v. CRST shows bare statutory FCRA violations can still confer standing, cutting the other way. 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 $60M · TransUnion, LLC $40M Key precedent: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital Inc. — directly parallels likely FCRA theories here and shows partial dismissal (with/without prejudice) is the modal outcome against CRAs/furnishers. Main risk: Dismissal of core FCRA counts for lack of private right of action or insufficient pleading, as in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital. This defendant: Multiple concurrent individual FCRA filings against Equifax (McClary, Ali, Porter, Harris, Janson) suggest a recurring litigation pattern, not necessarily systemic liability. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $4K–$30K Small, mixed comparable set; unclear if this is an individual or putative class action, which materially changes valuation magnitude. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | M.D. Fla. | 2026-09-15 | $2.25M–$100M comparable settlements |
