O’Reilly Auto Parts agreed to pay $950,000 to resolve claims it failed to get valid authorization before running background checks on job applicants.
The settlement benefits current and former O’Reilly employees who signed disclosure, authorization and digital signature forms on job applications and for whom the company procured a consumer report between Jan. 31, 2015, and Feb. 17, 2021.
According to plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit, O’Reilly violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) when seeking consent to run a background check as part of its application process. The automotive parts company allegedly included extraneous information on its disclosure forms that violated FCRA requirements.
O’Reilly Auto Parts is an auto parts supplier that provides parts to repair garages and retail customers.
O’Reilly hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $950,000 class action settlement to resolve the FCRA allegations.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement.
The net settlement after attorneys’ fees and other costs is estimated to be around $495,000. Based on this net settlement fund and the projected class size, each class member is estimated to receive $2.92. Exact payments may be higher or lower than this estimate.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is March 5, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for March 6, 2023.
No claim form is required to benefit from the settlement. Class members who do not exclude themselves will automatically receive a settlement payment.
Who’s Eligible
Current and former O’Reilly employees who signed disclosure, authorization and digital signature forms on job applications and for whom the company procured a consumer report between Jan. 31, 2015, and Feb. 17, 2021.

ILYM Group WON’T PAY!
wanted to say how frustrating it has been to deal with this company. Several of my former colleagues at Xtreme Xpress have not been paid what is owed to them from the class action settlement. I only found out about it through social security. I was never contacted by ILYM or the attorneys regarding the settlement.1099ed me. It seems that they do not know what they are doing. This is not acceptable. in the mission statement for this company, “communication“ is something they strive for. Customer based service. All B.S. today is 5/20/23. I started my communication with them in December 2022. Finally talked to somebody for the second time. For a check re-issue. 10 tp 14 days…….After a month and a half no check. I called they said it takes 4 to 6 weeks still no check in it’s it’s now May. It’s not just the amount of time that it took to get a hold of somebody, when you add that to they are the rudest people I have ever spoken to that are supposed to be in customer service. It is even more sad to see that this is the experience of everybody. What the heck is really going on over there and what can be done?
Class action???!!!!
