Bradberry v. Equifax Information Services LLC - Duplicate Collection Accounts Settlement

What happened

Equifax allegedly reported the same collection account more than once on consumer credit reports, which the lawsuit claims violates the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Equifax denies wrongdoing, and the parties agreed to settle to avoid further litigation costs.

Do you qualify?

Anyone who received a notice indicating they may be a member of the Settlement Class because records show they may have had duplicate collection accounts reported on their credit report by Equifax.

How to file

Log in to the settlement website using your Notice ID (beginning with EQB) and PIN printed on your notice to file a claim. The claim deadline is September 1, 2026.

Common questions

What is the claim deadline for the Bradberry v. Equifax Information Services LLC - Duplicate Collection Accounts Settlement?
The claim deadline is September 1, 2026. Filing is free and is done on the official settlement website at duplicateaccountfcrasettlement.com.
Is the Bradberry v. Equifax Information Services LLC - Duplicate Collection Accounts Settlement notice real, or a scam?
Claims are filed at duplicateaccountfcrasettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
How long until I get paid from the Bradberry v. Equifax Information Services LLC - Duplicate Collection Accounts Settlement?
Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. Payments cannot be issued until the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
What happens if I do nothing?
You receive no payment, and in most class actions you also give up the right to sue Equifax Information Services LLC separately over these same claims. To keep that right you must opt out (exclude yourself) by September 1, 2026.
