National Tenant Network $1,625,000 Eviction Postcard FCRA Settlement
Court case: Clermont v. National Tenant Network, Inc. & LCIJ, Inc., Case No: 2:23-cv-03545-MCA-LDW
If a tenant-screening company mailed a postcard to landlords revealing that you had a previous eviction filing, this settlement is for you. Filing a short claim form gets you a share of the settlement fund.
Official eligibility wordingThe Court certified the following definition of a Class: “All persons who were the subject of Defendants National Tenant Network, Inc’s and LCIJ, Inc.’s postcards, substantially similar to the postcard concerning Plaintiff, sent during the applicable FCRA statute of limitations period, 15 U.S.C. § 1681p, as determined by whether and when the person that was the subject of one of Defendants’ postcards discovered that it was sent.” The Class Period covers the period from June 30, 2018, to December 3, 2023.
