| LVNV FUNDING, LLCsource ↗ filed by Southampton, PA 18966 · Judge Kelley Brisbon Hodge · No. 2:26-cv-07604 · 15:1692 Fair Debt Collection Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾Comparable FCRA rulings split sharply: Minano v. DLJ dismissed most furnisher claims for lack of private right of action, while Askins v. CRST upheld bare statutory violations as sufficient injury. LVNV faces multiple concurrent FCRA/FDCPA filings (Terrell, Lawson, Hayes, Perry), suggesting recurring but fact-specific disputes rather than systemic class exposure. Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M median $5.85M · n=10 Equifax $100M · Equifax Informatio $30M · Equifax $30M Per member (realized): ~$250 median · $25–$500 (n=5) Comparable verdict: TransUnion $60M · TransUnion, LLC $40M Key precedent: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital — shows courts frequently dismiss FCRA claims against furnishers/debt-buyers absent specific statutory hooks, a direct risk for LVNV as a debt buyer. Main risk: Dismissal for lack of private right of action or insufficient factual specificity, as in Minano (Counts II, III, V dismissed with prejudice). This defendant: LVNV shows a repeat-litigant pattern (4+ concurrent FCRA/FDCPA filings) plus one affirmed adverse consumer-protection ruling (Scott Diana v. LVNV), indicating recurring compliance exposure. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): – Single-plaintiff case; no class mechanism evident, so EV reflects individual statutory exposure, not aggregate class damages. Small, heterogeneous comparable set limits precision. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | E.D.
