| First Advantage Background Services Corp.source ↗ filed by Sarah Poriss, Attorney at Law · Judge Vernon D. Oliver · No. 3:26-cv-01727 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾Askins v. CRST shows FCRA disclosure violations can survive as concrete injury, but Minano v. DLJ Mortgage dismissed multiple FCRA provisions for lack of private right of action, showing claim-specific vulnerability. First Advantage's core business (background screening) mirrors LexisNexis Screening Solutions, which settled similar claims for $4.3M. 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: Askins v. CRST Expedited - FCRA disclosure/authorization defects alone can confer standing, directly relevant to background-check industry defendants like First Advantage. Main risk: Dismissal of specific FCRA counts lacking private right of action, as in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage, could gut multiple claims early. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $1.25M–$75M Small, heterogeneous comparable set; class size is a rough industry-scale estimate, not case-specific discovery data. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | D.
