PRA (Colo.) shows PRA's debt-validation documentation is recurringly deficient, weighing toward survival; but Minano and Soul show many FCRA/FDCPA theories get dismissed for lack of private right of action or thin pleading. Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M median $5.85M · n=10 Equifax $100M · Equifax $30M · Equifax Informatio $30M Per member (realized): ~$102 median · $25–$500 (n=3) Comparable verdict: TransUnion $60M · TransUnion, LLC $40M Key precedent: Felicia Wright v. Portfolio Recovery Associates (Colo.) - same defendant, court found PRA's ownership/attachment proof insufficient, signaling systemic documentation weaknesses. Main risk: Core FCRA counts may be dismissed early for lacking private right of action against furnishers/collectors, as in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage. This defendant: PRA has multiple pending/recent consumer-credit and privacy suits (Horan, Wright, Lindor), suggesting recurring compliance disputes. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $4K–$1.12M Small, heterogeneous comparable set (mostly non-PRA, mixed jurisdictions); class certification and specific facts unknown, limiting precision. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | M.D. Fla. | 2026-09-24 | $2.40M–$100M comparable settlements |
