Equifax

Allegations that Equifax reported inaccurate credit information due to a coding error between March 17 and April 8, 2022, potentially violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Equifax Inc. agreed to pay $100 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the company reported inaccurate credit information due to a computer coding issue between March 17 and April 8, 2022. Consumers for whom Equifax reported an incorrect credit score or credit attribute to a third party during this period may be eligible to submit a claim for an estimated $95 to $280. To file a claim, class members must provide the claim ID and PIN from the settlement notice they received. The claim deadline is December 28, 2026.

You may be eligible if you:

• Individuals residing in the United States.
• For whom Equifax reported their credit score or credit attribute to a third party between March 17, 2022, and April 8, 2022.
• Where the reported score or attribute differed from what it would have been if not for the coding issue.
• And Equifax identified the transaction in its OMS analysis as a class transaction.

• Basic contact information
• Dates tied to your purchase or account activity
• Proof of purchase or supporting documents

If you do not have every document, you may still be able to file. Many settlements accept claims without receipts.
