Overview
If you purchased a new automobile and/or homeowners insurance policy and/or renewed such a policy from Farmers Insurance Company, Inc., Farmers Insurance Exchange, Fire Insurance Exchange, and/or Mid-Century Insurance Company between September 28, 1999 and September 28, 2002, you were eligible to receive benefits from a class action settlement.
Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit contending that Defendants violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by not providing sufficient “notice of the adverse action.” Defendants deny these allegations. The case has now been settled.
The Settlement provided for each eligible Class Member to receive a Credit Report Code which allowed Class Members to access and review, at no cost, their individual consumer credit report maintained by Equifax for accuracy.
In addition, each Class Member who certified online online that they reviewed their individual consumer credit report for errors and inaccuracies would receive a thirty-five dollar ($35.00) payment.
