Hillis v Equifax + Fair Isaac class action settlement - please OBJECT!
Hillis v. Equifax Consumer Services, Inc. and Fair Isaac Corp., Case No. 1:04-CV-3400 (USDC, ND GA) and Slack v. Fair Isaac Corp. and MyFICO Consumer Services, Inc., Case No. 1:07-CV-314 (USDC, ND GA)
Well, I just spent hours writing a long posting about this proposed settlement, was done, decided to create a new category, clicked on the wrong button and LOST it all. I had 7 reasons to object (just for starters) and numerous links, I’m way too tired to try to do this again today.
It finally warmed up, been working on my new place the last few days, mostly digging ditches and I’m beat. And I have to admit that I’d rather dig ditches than suffer through the aggravation of having to analyze another totally worthless settlement—but, somebody has to do it and this is our chance to go on record AGAINST this awful settlement.
I will draft a sample objection for you to use.
You can just add your name/address and a sentence or two regarding your objections. I’ll call the court to find out about specific requirements. And the Bar Association can KISS MY ASS or sue me for practicing law w/o license - I couldn’t care less. As regular readers know, I’m not an attorney, but apparently the attorneys all sold out. I’m about as angry as it gets after reading some of the filings and the settlement agreement, notice and FAQ—I will post the details about my objection ASAP.
The settlement site: http://www.hillisslacksettlement.com/
The FAQ and the Long Form Notice are much more helpful than the proposed settlement agreement.
I’ve posted the docket (35 pages!), the amended complaint and a brief re. a motion to compel discovery responses from Fair Isaac and Equifax at Hillis v. Equifax + Fair Isaac class action . All the filings are online, but it would take me literally DAYS to download and post it all, not to mention the expense. I haven’t had time yet to look at Slack v. Fair Isaac Corp. and MyFICO Consumer Services, Inc.
All filings SHOULD be available free of charge at the settlement site.
I am SO tired of getting screwed by the CRAs, Fair Isaac AND the attorneys who claim to represent the interests of consumers. I really hope that many of you will take a few minutes to file your objections.
