Equifax Fair Credit Reporting Act Coding Error Settlement
Equifax Fair Credit Reporting Act Coding Error Settlement
Accepting Submissions
The lawsuit, In re Equifax Fair Credit Reporting Act Litigation, alleges that a computer coding issue Equifax experienced between March 17, 2022, and April 8, 2022, caused it to report inaccurate credit scores or credit attributes to third parties. Equifax denies that it did anything wrong. Equifax agreed to pay $100 million into a proposed settlement fund, and each valid claim gets an equal share of what is left after costs, which plaintiffs currently estimate at $95 to $280.
Claims are due December 28, 2026. The deadline to opt out or object is November 27, 2026. The court will hold a final approval hearing on January 22, 2027, and has not yet granted final approval.
Eligibility
You may qualify if Equifax's records show that it reported a credit score or credit attribute about you to a third party that was affected by a coding issue between March 17, 2022, and April 8, 2022. Equifax and its employees, officers, and directors are excluded. You must file a claim to get paid.

A claim form is required, and payment is not automatic. The court has not granted final approval, and the hearing is set for January 22, 2027. The $95 to $280 range is an estimate that can go up or down with the number of valid claims.
