Court Rules on FCRA Class Motion

Deborah Elkins//September 28, 2016

In this Fair Credit Reporting Act suit filed by plaintiffs who allege they were denied employment based on allegedly inaccurate and incomplete criminal histories supplied by defendant CoreLogic National Background Data LLC, a Richmond U.S. District Court denies plaintiffs’ renewed motion for class certification.

Because plaintiffs failed to provide NBD with notice of some important evidence underlying the proposed subclasses, NBD was denied the opportunity to conduct discovery necessary to fully brief the issue. Plaintiffs’ motion is denied without prejudice as to the three subclasses, and the parties will be given an opportunity to conduct expedited discovery as to the viability of the subclasses. The motion is denied with prejudice as to the putative nationwide class.

Henderson v. CoreLogic Nat’l Background Data LLC (Payne) No. 3:12cv97, Sept. 2, 2016; USDC at Richmond, Va. VLW 016-3-425, 37 pp.
