| Jefferson Capital Systems, LLCsource ↗ filed by LAW OFFICES OF BRAD A. LOETHEN LLC · Judge Shirley P. Mensah · No. 4:26-cv-01622 · 15:1692 Fair Debt Collection Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾FCRA/FDCPA furnisher claims often fail at the pleading stage absent a private right of action, as in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital, while disclosure-based claims can survive per Askins v. CRST. Jefferson Capital is a debt buyer/furnisher, placing it closer to the dismissed Minano fact pattern. 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 (D.D.C.) — dismissed most FCRA furnisher claims (no private right of action, insufficient pleading), mirroring likely exposure here. Main risk: Dismissal for lack of private right of action or insufficient factual specificity, as in Minano and Soul v. Christiansen. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $40K–$1.25M Small, heterogeneous comparable set; unclear if case is individual or class-based, so EV range spans both scenarios and should be treated as highly provisional. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | E.D.
