| EQUIFAX INFORMATION SERVICES, LLCsource ↗ filed by PHILADELPHIA, PA 19111 · Judge Chad Francis Kenney Sr. · No. 2:26-cv-08133 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $2.40M–$100M ▾FCRA furnisher claims face dismissal risk for provisions lacking private right of action, as in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital, while disclosure/reporting defects can survive as in Askins v. CRST. Equifax's litigation history shows repeated individual FCRA filings with at least one meaningful settlement (Bradberry, $2.2M). 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. — matters because it narrows viable FCRA furnisher theories (1681s-2(a) claims dismissed) while allowing reporting-accuracy claims to proceed with adequate pleading. Main risk: Dismissal of specific FCRA counts lacking private right of action against furnishers, as seen in Minano where three of six claims were dismissed with prejudice. This defendant: Equifax faces a steady pattern of repeat individual FCRA filings (McClary, Harris x2, Ali, Porter) alongside a prior $2.2M settlement, suggesting recurring furnisher-dispute liability. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $125K–$18.75M Small, heterogeneous comparable set mixes individual and class claims; actual case scope (individual vs. class) is unclear from filing data, producing wide uncertainty. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | E.D.
