| HireRight, LLCsource ↗ filed by CONSUMER ATTORNEYS PLLC - Atlanta · Judge Catherine D. Perry · No. 4:26-cv-01514 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾Askins v. CRST Expedited found bare FCRA disclosure violations sufficient for standing, supporting survival of similar claims against background-check firms like HireRight, but Minano v. DLJ Mortgage shows courts readily dismiss FCRA furnisher claims lacking private right of action or factual specificity. Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M median $5.85M · n=10 Equifax $100M · Equifax Informatio $30M · Equifax $30M Per member (realized): ~$250 median · $25–$500 (n=5) Comparable verdict: TransUnion $60M · TransUnion, LLC $40M Key precedent: Askins v. CRST Expedited - background-check disclosure violation deemed concrete injury, directly analogous to HireRight's core business model. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead concrete/willful FCRA violation, as seen in Minano and Soul v. Christiansen where FDCPA/FCRA counts were dismissed for insufficiency. This defendant: Prior Wright v. HireRight FCRA filing suggests recurring litigation exposure for this defendant. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $125K–$11.25M Small, heterogeneous comparable set; actual class size and per-member recovery highly dependent on specific FCRA provision alleged and certification outcome. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | E.D.
