| Bear Property Management Incsource ↗ filed by Deladurantey Law Office LLC · Judge Lynn S. Adelman · No. 2:26-cv-01807 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾Comparable furnisher FCRA claims were dismissed in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage for lack of private right of action under key provisions, while Wallingford's credit-reporting claims failed on the merits; only Askins survived on bare disclosure violations, showing courts split sharply on FCRA furnisher theories. 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 — most FCRA furnisher claims dismissed, signaling Bear's reporting-based claims face similar statutory hurdles. Main risk: Private right of action limits under FCRA (as in Minano) could gut most claims absent furnisher-specific violations (e.g., 1681s-2(b)). Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $4K–$60K Defendant is a small property manager, not a CRA/furnisher at scale—settlement/class comps here are poor fits; true exposure likely far below industry benchmarks. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | E.D.
