| Equifax Information Services LLCsource ↗ filed by Patti Zabaleta Law Group · No. 8:26-cv-02978 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾Minano v. DLJ Mortgage shows courts dismiss several FCRA furnisher theories (no private right of action, insufficient pleading) while allowing others without prejudice; Askins confirms bare statutory FCRA violations can still support standing in some jurisdictions. Equifax faces repeat FCRA suits (Bradberry, McClary, Ali, Porter, Harris, Janson), suggesting recurring exposure but inconsistent outcomes. Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M median $5.85M · n=10 Equifax $100M · Equifax $30M · Equifax Informatio $30M Per member (realized): ~$250 median · $25–$500 (n=5) Comparable verdict: TransUnion $60M · TransUnion, LLC $40M Key precedent: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital Inc. — dismisses several FCRA counts for lack of private right of action, mirrors likely claims against Equifax as CRA/furnisher. Main risk: Dismissal of core FCRA counts for lack of private right of action or insufficient concrete-injury pleading, as in Minano. This defendant: Equifax has multiple concurrent/prior FCRA filings (Bradberry $2.2M settlement, plus 5 pending suits), indicating recurring systemic reporting-accuracy disputes. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$30K Small, heterogeneous comparable set; no class certification signal here, so class-scale settlement figures are not directly comparable to this individual filing. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | M.D. Fla. | 2026-09-29 | $2.40M–$100M comparable settlements |
