Where this case stands
In litigation
The case has been filed and is being fought in court. There is no settlement, no claim form and no payout yet; many class actions are dismissed or never certified.
Pending in the District Court, E.D. Pennsylvania (No. 2:24-cv-02438).
- June 5, 2024Case filed
What happened
A class action was filed against TransUnion, and the court has certified a class of all U.S. consumers who received a letter from TransUnion denying a block request, similar to the letter sent to plaintiff Lesley Kaplan on October 14, 2023, during the relevant period. The docket text indicates the case concerns consumer credit matters, but it does not detail the specific alleged violations. The class certification means the litigation will proceed on behalf of those consumers.
Do you qualify?
No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.
How to file
There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
