| Sequium Asset Solutions, LLCsource ↗ filed by The Law Offices of Jibrael S. Hindi · No. 8:26-cv-02957 · 15:1692 Fair Debt Collection Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾FCRA furnisher claims against debt collectors are frequently narrowed or dismissed (Minano v. DLJ: 3 of 6 counts dismissed with prejudice for no private right of action), while FDCPA disclosure-type claims can survive (Askins). Case appears to be an individual suit, limiting class-wide exposure. 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: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital — shows courts routinely dismiss FCRA furnisher claims (1681i, 1681c-2, 1681s-2(a)) for lack of private right of action, a direct risk to Sequium as furnisher/collector. Main risk: Dismissal of core FCRA counts for lack of private right of action or insufficient pleading, as in Minano, leaving only narrow FDCPA claims. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$500K No class certification evidence; likely individual claim, so EV range is wide and speculative pending further docket detail. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | M.D. Fla. | 2026-09-25 | $2.40M–$100M comparable settlements |
