BASIC INFORMATION A. Why did I get this notice? FLS's records show that your consumer report was accessed by FLS applied in May 2010. FLS may not have had a permissible purpose under federal law for this access. Christopher Franke was one of the people whose consumer report was accessed by FLS and he filed a class action law suit on behalf of himself and a group of other people (a "class" of people) whose consumer reports were accessed by FLS in May 2010. The lawsuit is known as Franke v. FLS, NA, Case No. 12-1374. You have been identified as one of the people whose consumer report was accessed along with Mr. Franke s. Mr. Franke and FLS have proposed that a settlement be approved for the entire group or class of persons who were treated similarly, so you are being notified of the settlement and that your rights may be effected. B. What is this notice? This is a notice of the proposed class action settlement between Mr. Franke and FLS. Mr. Franke and FLS have agreed to settle their case for the class, and the Court has certified a "class" or group of people who have been effected and may participate in the settlement process. Judge Robert J. Jonker of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan is overseeing this class action and he ordered the parties to send this notice to you and the other class members. You have legal rights and options that you may exercise before the Court gives its final approval for the settlement. This notice provides you with information concerning your rights under the settlement. This notices is NOT a solicitation from an attorney. C. What is this lawsuit about? Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, a person who uses a consumer report must have a lawful reason for doing so. An example of a permissible purpose is when a bank reviews a consumer report to determine the consumer s eligibility for a pre-approved credit offer. This lawsuit is about whether FLS violated the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act by accessing and using consumer reports without a legally permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. D. What is a class action and who is involved? A class action is a lawsuit filed by one person on behalf of other people who have suffered the same problem. In a class action lawsuit, one or more people called "Class Representatives" (in this case Christopher Franke) sue on behalf of other people who have similar claims. The group of people together are a "Class" or the "Class Members." The person who sued-and all the Class Members like them-are called the Plaintiffs. The company they sued (in this case FLS) is called the Defendant. One court resolves the issues for everyone in the Class-except for those people who choose to exclude themselves from the Class. Any judgment or settlement of the case resolves the claims for all the people in the class. The proposed settlement in this case would resolve any claims you might have for the same kinds of claims brought in this case by Mr. Franke. Page 3
E. Why is this lawsuit a class action? The parties in this case Mr. Franke and FLS have asked the Court for permission to settle this case for themselves and the class members. This case is proceeding as a class, because the Court must preliminarily certify the class before it can fully implement the settlement and make the settlement benefits available to the class members. The Court decided that this the settlement appears to be fair and reasonable and that the case meets the requirements which govern class actions in federal courts. Specifically, the Court found that: There are many people who may have had the same experience as Mr. Franke in relation to the access and use of their consumer reports by FLS in May 2010; There are legal questions and facts that are common to each of the persons in the class; The Class Representative's (Mr. Franke's) claims are typical of the claims of the rest of the members of the Class; The Class Representative and the lawyers representing the Class will fairly and adequately represent the Class' interests; The common legal questions and facts are more important than questions that affect only individuals; and This class action will be more efficient than having many individual lawsuits in the courts. More information about why the Court is allowing this lawsuit to be a class action is in the Court's Order Certifying the Class, which is available at www.flssettlement.com. F. What does the lawsuit complain about? THE CLAIMS IN THE LAWSUIT In his lawsuit, Mr. Franke claims that FLS violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In specific, he claims that FLS violated the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 1681b(f) and 1681e(e) by accessing and using his consumer report without a legally permissible purpose. You can read the Plaintiffs' Class Complaint at www.flssettlement.com. G. How did FLS answer? FLS denies that it did anything wrong and says that it did not know that the documents it accessed fell within the definition of a consumer report, and did not intend to violate the law. FLS claims it purchased lists that were offered to it as marketing materials and it had no notice that these lists were regulated or subject to permissible purpose requirements. FLS s Answer to the Class Complaint is also at the website www.flssettlement.com. H. Has the Court decided who is right? The Court has not decided whether FLS or Mr. Franke is are correct. The Parties have agreed to settle the case without having a final determination of the claims. The Court has also decided that the proposed settlement appears to be reasonable and fair under the circumstances and the settlement is preferable to a trial of the case under these circumstances. If you wish to have your case heard and have a court determine whether FLS is correct, you may opt out of this settlement and proceed to litigate your case. I. How do I know if I am part of this Class? WHO IS IN THE CLASS Page 4
Judge Robert J. Jonker has certified a class that includes all Michigan Residents whose consumer reports were accessed by FLS on a list provided in May 2010. In other words, you are a member of this Class if your name appears on the list and you are a Michigan resident. All fitting this description will participate in the class settlement unless they elect to opt out. J. What if I do not want to be a part of the class? You may opt out. The settlement of the claims permits members of the class to opt out of the class. If you opt out, you will not receive any of the settlement benefits, and you will not be bound by the settlement. If you opt out, you may pursue your own claims or simply do nothing. K. What happens if I do nothing at all? You will remain as a member of the class, be bound by the settlement, and receive the settlement benefits. People who do nothing will be included within the class settlement and will receive their share of the overall settlement. L. What is the proposed settlement? THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT The class will share in a total of $415,000.00 minus legally recoverable costs incurred by M r. Franke in litigating the case, and incentive award of $5,000.00 and attorney's fees. This final recovery amount will be divided by the number of class claimants, and will be shared equally by them. The final amount of the checks are not yet known, but are estimated at $35.00. M. What will I give up? You will be giving up your rights to sue FLS for any impermissible access or use of your consumer report. This includes any claims for actual, statutory, or punitive damages you may have suffered from either not receiving the notice at all, or not receiving the notice in the time allowed. N. Will I be waiving any other rights I might have against FLS? No. If you choose to participate in the class, you will not be giving any other rights that you have or may acquire later. You keep those rights. If you have any other claims you wish to pursue later, you may pursue them on your own, with or without an attorney. O. What is Mr. Franke asking for now? Mr. Franke is asking that the Court approve the proposed settlement of the case. Mr. Franke has filed a motion asking the court's permission to implement the settlement that was preliminarily approved for the class. If the court agrees, the case will be finally resolved and the settlement will be implemented. Page 5
P. When will the settlement money be available? Settlement money will be available only if the Court approves the settlement. The Court has not yet decided whether to approve the settlement. If the court approves the settlement, money will be disbursed approximately two months after the final approval. Those funds will be mailed by a third party administrator. Q. Do I have a lawyer in the case? THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU Yes. The Court has appointed attorneys to represent the you and the rest of the members of the class in this case for purposes of the settlement. These attorneys are known as Class Co-Counsel. You will not be charged directly for these attorneys, but they will be compensated out of the class recovery. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire an attorney at your own cost. Ian B. Lyngklip & Julie Petrik Lyngklip & Associates Consumer Law Center, PLC 214500 Northwestern, # 206 Southfield, Michigan 48075 Telephone: (248) 208-8864 R. How much are the lawyers being paid? The lawyers will be requesting that the Court award them $115,000.00 or approximately 27.5% of the value of the class recovery. The fee that the lawyer actually receive is determined by the court using standards that are established by law. The amount that the lawyers request is within the range of what other attorneys customarily request that courts award in class actions. EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT S. What should I do if I do not want to participate in the settlement? Opt out and exclude yourself from the settlement. If you do not want to participate in this settlement, but you want to keep the right to sue Defendant over the legal issues involved in this case, then you must take steps to remove yourself from the Settlement Class.
