| Equifax Information Services LLCsource ↗ filed by Swift, Isringhaus, Dubbeld & McEleney PLLC · No. 8:26-cv-02988 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital shows courts readily dismiss FCRA furnisher claims lacking private right of action or factual specificity, a real risk for Equifax as a CRA/furnisher. Askins v. CRST shows bare statutory FCRA violations can still confer standing, keeping viable claims alive. 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. — dismissed multiple FCRA counts (no private right of action, insufficient pleading), directly analogous to typical Equifax furnisher/CRA claims. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to state a claim or lack of private right of action under specific FCRA subsections, as in Minano. This defendant: Multiple recent individual FCRA filings against Equifax (McClary, Ali, Porter, Harris, Janson) suggest recurring consumer disputes over reporting accuracy, not a coordinated class pattern. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$2.50M Small, heterogeneous comparable set; likely individual case but treated with class-scale benchmarks per instructions, inflating upper bound uncertainty. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | M.D. Fla. | 2026-09-29 | $2.40M–$100M comparable settlements |
