| Checkr Incsource ↗ filed by Consumer Justice Law Firm PLC · Judge Richard Mark Gergel · No. 9:26-cv-04916 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾Askins v. CRST Expedited held bare FCRA disclosure violations in background-check context confer standing, directly analogous to Checkr's CRA role; but Minano shows many FCRA counts dismissed for lacking private right of action or insufficient pleading, so survival is theory-dependent. 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: Askins v. CRST Expedited (Cal. Ct. App.) - background-check disclosure violation survived decertification, closely mirrors Checkr's core FCRA exposure. Main risk: Dismissal of specific FCRA counts for lack of private right of action or insufficient factual pleading, as in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital. This defendant: Two other pending FCRA filings against Checkr (Dickson, Venturini) suggest recurring disclosure/compliance litigation pattern. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $250K–$37.50M Small, heterogeneous comparable set; actual class size and per-member recovery highly dependent on specific disclosure defect and jurisdictional certification outcome. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | D.S.C. | 2026-10-16 | $2.40M–$100M comparable settlements |
