The class action lawsuit titled Julius Terrell v. Costco Wholesale Corporation has recently come to terms in hopes of settling the matter before reaching trial. The case was filed over claims that the Defendant (that would be Costco) violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) when obtaining background reports on those who applied for a job by using a disclosure form that was not in compliance with the law. However, Costco disputes the allegations brought forth in the suit stating the form in question fully complied with the FCRA. The question as to who the court would have sided with likely will never be known as the case has come to a pending settlement agreement valued at $2,490,000. Those who believe they are eligible for a piece of this rather large chunk of change can begin by going to the Terrell FCRA Settlement page and clicking the File a Claim link to initiate the online filing process.
