Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾
Equifax faces recurring FCRA suits (Bradberry $2.2M settlement, multiple pending filings), but Minano v. DLJ shows courts readily dismiss FCRA counts lacking private right of action or factual specificity, while Askins shows bare statutory disclosure violations can still confer standing.
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 counts for no private right of action/insufficient pleading, a likely template for Equifax's motion to dismiss.
Main risk: Dismissal of core FCRA theories for insufficient factual specificity or lack of private right of action, as in Minano v. DLJ.
This defendant: Equifax shows repeat FCRA litigation pattern (Bradberry settlement + 5 pending filings), suggesting systemic reporting-accuracy disputes rather than one-off error.
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $4K–$2M
Single-case filing with unclear class status; EV highly sensitive to whether suit remains individual or becomes certified class action. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts
