Delta Settles FCRA Class Action for $2.3 Million

The district court for the Northern District of California recently issued an order granting Plaintiff’s motion in Schofield v. Delta Air Lines, Inc., for preliminary approval of a class settlement totaling $2.3 million for a class of about 44,100 class members.

The plaintiffs in the case applied for employment with Delta Airlines, but were allegedly given inadequate disclosure documents when consenting to background checks. The individuals claim Delta violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA); the California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (ICRAA); the California Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act (CCRAA); and the California Business & Professionals Code.
