Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾
FCRA furnisher claims frequently dismissed for lack of private right of action (Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital) and FDCPA counts often fail on pleading sufficiency (Soul v. Christiansen), but disclosure-based claims can survive (Askins v. CRST). First Savings Bank is a small regional entity, limiting exposure relative to national CRA settlements.

Per member (realized): ~$250 median · $25–$500 (n=5)
Comparable verdict: TransUnion $60M · TransUnion, LLC $40M
Key precedent: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital - dismissed multiple FCRA furnisher claims (no private right of action, insufficient pleading), directly analogous to likely furnisher-liability theory here.
Main risk: Dismissal for lack of private right of action under specific FCRA provisions, as in Minano, or failure to plead concrete injury under FDCPA, as in Soul.
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $25K–$3M
Small sample of comparables with ambiguous outcomes; defendant identity is confusingly multi-entity (several 'First Savings Bank' entities exist), so class size is highly speculative. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts
