Comparable settlements $2.45M–$100M ▾
Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital shows FCRA furnisher claims often dismissed for no private right of action or insufficient pleading, while Askins v. CRST shows disclosure-based FCRA claims can survive on bare statutory violation theory. Outcome highly fact-dependent on which FCRA/FDCPA subsection is pled against Lead Bank.
Comparable settlements $2.45M–$100M median $7.86M · n=10
Equifax $100M · Equifax $30M · Equifax Informatio $30M
Per member (realized): ~$176 median · $25–$250 (n=4)
Comparable verdict: TransUnion $60M · TransUnion, LLC $40M
Key precedent: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital Inc. — most FCRA furnisher claims dismissed, but leaves room for amended pleading on reporting-accuracy theories relevant to a bank defendant.
Main risk: Dismissal of core FCRA claims for lack of private right of action or insufficient pleading, as in Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $50K–$2.25M
