| EQUIFAX INFORMATION SERVICES, LLCsource ↗ filed by The Kim Law Firm, LLC · Judge Joel Harvey Slomsky · No. 2:26-cv-08033 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾Equifax faces mixed FCRA outcomes: Minano shows courts readily dismiss claims lacking private right of action (§1681s-2(a)), while Askins shows disclosure-based claims can survive on bare statutory injury. Equifax's own prior $2.2M Bradberry settlement and multiple pending filings signal recurring exposure but inconsistent merits outcomes. 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 several FCRA furnisher claims for lack of private right of action, a common defense Equifax will likely raise here. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead concrete injury or lack of private right of action under specific FCRA subsection, as in Minano. This defendant: Equifax shows repeat FCRA litigation pattern (Bradberry $2.2M settlement; multiple concurrent filings: McClary, Harris x2, Ali, Porter) suggesting systemic reporting-accuracy disputes. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$12.50M Single-plaintiff filing name suggests individual claim, not certified class; class-scale EV figures are speculative ceiling, not case-specific prediction. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | E.D.
