DLJ Mortgage Capital shows FCRA furnisher claims are routinely narrowed or dismissed for lack of private right of action, while Askins confirms bare statutory violations can still support standing in some jurisdictions. Equifax's repeat litigation pattern (Bradberry, multiple pending filings) suggests claims often survive long enough to settle rather than reach trial. Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M median $7.86M · 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, Inc. — illustrates that several FCRA furnisher theories (1681i, 1681c-2, 1681s-2(a)) lack private rights of action and are commonly dismissed, narrowing viable claims early. Main risk: Dismissal of core FCRA counts for lack of private right of action or insufficient factual pleading, as in Minano, leaving only narrow surviving claims This defendant: Equifax shows a recurring pattern of FCRA suits (Bradberry, McClary, Harris, Ali, Porter) indicating systemic furnishing/reporting disputes rather than one-off incidents. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $250K–$100M Small, heterogeneous comparable set; case may resolve as individual action rather than class, drastically altering scale and EV. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | M.D. Penn. | 2026-10-08 | $2.40M–$100M comparable settlements |
