Expired Class Action Settlements

EXPRESS PERSONNEL BACKGROUND CHECK CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

EXPRESS PERSONNEL BACKGROUND CHECK CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

If you (i) resided in the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware or the Virgin Islands; (ii) applied for employment with Defendants; (iii) were the subject of a consumer report used by Defendants for employment purposes; (iv) were the subject of an adverse employment action by Defendants; and, (v) were not provided with a copy of the report and/or a written summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) prior to the adverse action, you may be eligible for benefits from a class action settlement.

A settlement will provide a Settlement Fund of $5,750,000.00 to pay people who applied for employment with Express Services, Inc. and Express Personnel – Philadelphia (“Defendants”) and were the subject of a report from June 9, 2012 to June 9, 2014.
The settlement resolves a lawsuit over whether Defendants failed to comply with legal requirements in taking adverse action against people applying for jobs without prior notice. The settlement avoids costs and risks to you from continuing the lawsuit; pays money to people like you; and releases Defendants from liability.
Defendants deny any and all liability and the two sides disagree on how much money, if any, could have been won if this case went to trial.
Lawyers for the class members will ask the Court for up to one-third of the Settlement Fund to be paid by Defendants—as fees and expenses for investigating the facts, litigating the case, and negotiating the settlement— and for $10,000 to be paid to the Class Representative for his services to the Class and for his individual claim against Defendants.
Who’s Eligible

Class Members of the Express Personnel settlement include anyone who resided in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware or the Virgin Islands who: “(i) within two years prior to the filing of the Complaint; (ii) applied for employment with Defendants; (iii) were the subject of a consumer report used by Defendants for employment purposes; (iv) were the subject of an adverse employment action by Defendants; and, (v) were not provided with a copy of the report and/or a written summary of their rights under the FCRA prior to the adverse action.”

Potential Award

$50, or if you incurred damages as a result of the failure of the defendants to provide you with pre-adverse action notice under FCRA, you may file a claim for damages up to $2,500.

Proof of Purchase

None required.

Claim Form Deadline

5/8/2017

NOTE: Class Members do not need to file a Claim Form in order to receive a payment of $50. If you intend to file a claim for damages, you must submit a Claim Form indicating the amount of damages you incurred.
