Equifax agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it improperly reported tribal loan accounts.ย
The class action lawsuit settlement benefits individuals Equifax identified as having loans issued by Plain Green, Great Plains Lending or MobiLoans based on information from Midwest Recovery and/or CACi between Oct. 4, 2019, and Aug. 21, 2023.
According to the class action lawsuit, Equifax reported Great Plains Lending, Plain Green and MobiLoans debts to creditors. The plaintiffs contend the company also allowed debt collectors to change the dates related to these loans to make them appear more recent.
Equifax is one of the three credit bureaus that report on consumer debts and creditworthiness.
Equifax hasnโt admitted wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) class action lawsuit.
Under the settlement terms, each class member who files a claim form can receive a $500 payment.
The class action lawsuit settlement also includes non-monetary benefits; Equifax will delete any accounts on consumer reports pertaining to Plain Green, Great Plains Lending or MobiLoans loans furnished to the credit bureau by Midwest Recovery and/or CACi. The company also agreed to make business practices to better serve class members and other consumers.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is March 25, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the Equifax class action settlement is scheduled for April 26, 2024.
In order to receive a settlement payment, class members must submit a valid claim form by Feb. 20, 2024.
