I got a postcard in the mail Saturday that said there was a class action lawsuit against Lexis - Nexis and it was in the settlement stage. The basis of the suit was Lexis - Nexis failing to adhere to the standards of a consumer reporting agency like the Big 3. It said you were automatically a member of the class if you had requested a report from Lexis - Nexis and/or attempted to dispute information in their files. Unfortunately it did not say what the effective dates of the action were, i.e. when you had to make the request.
I had ordered a report from them about 18 months ago. But I never got anything about the class action being filed. It said that a settlement between the parties had been reached and a settlement conference was scheduled with the court for 10/13. The payout to the class members was estimated to be $300 each after payment of attorneys fees and costs.
I'm curious if anyone else received this information or if you believe you may be a part of the class and were not notified. I don't have the postcard with me at the moment but there was an 800 phone # to call for info and an attorneys office on the sender address. I'm guessing a Google search will turn up the information.
Starting Score: 500's
I will get the postcard tonight and PM you tomorrow.
