This settlement involves Schenker, Inc., a company accused of pulling consumer and credit reports to run background checks on job applicants and employees without giving proper written disclosure or getting proper authorization. The lawsuit, Wickham v. Schenker, claims violations of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and similar California laws. Schenker denies wrongdoing. The court has authorized notice of the proposed settlement but has not yet approved it, so no payments will be made unless the court gives final approval. People who were prospective or former applicants or employees whose background checks may have been affected could be eligible. If you do nothing, you will receive a share of any settlement proceeds but give up your right to sue separately over the same claims. You can instead opt out, which means no payment but you keep your right to sue. You may also object to the settlement terms. The page does not list a specific payout amount or a claim form requirement. Review the settlement agreement on the official site for full details before deciding what to do.
