Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾
FCRA furnisher claims are frequently dismissed for lack of private right of action (Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital) and inadequate pleading (Soul v. Christiansen), but disclosure-based FCRA claims have survived (Askins v. CRST). Small company size and single-plaintiff posture limit large-settlement upside seen in Equifax/TransUnion.
Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M median $7.86M · 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 — dismissed most FCRA furnisher claims for no private right of action, a common bar here.
Main risk: Dismissal for lack of private right of action or insufficient pleading, as in Minano and Soul rulings
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $18K–$2.10M
