What the Claim Form Asked For
If you already submitted a claim and want to confirm you provided the right information, the form required these personal details:4DeceasedReportSuit.com. Claim Form – Scroggins v. LexisNexis FL
- Full legal name, printed legibly
- Current mailing address with city, state, and ZIP code
- Telephone number
- Last four digits of your Social Security number
- Date of birth
- Your signature and the date
A form without a signature was not valid. The settlement administrator also reserved the right to request additional information to validate any claim, so follow-up correspondence from the administrator is a normal part of the review process, not a sign something is wrong.
How Claims Were Submitted
Product Members had two options. They could file online through the settlement website at DeceasedReportSuit.com, or print the form, sign it, and mail it to:

When Payment Arrives and How Much
The total settlement fund is $13.5 million.1DeceasedReportSuit.com. Scroggins v.

Frequently Asked Questions – Scroggins v. LexisNexis FL The per-person amount depends on how many valid Product Member claims came in and how many Contact Members are in the class, so a precise figure cannot be calculated until the administrator finishes processing claims.

What Accepting Payment Releases
Class members who did not opt out release all claims against LexisNexis FL related to the conduct in this lawsuit, including claims under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its state-law equivalents.1DeceasedReportSuit.com.

One narrow exception exists. If you had individually disputed an inaccurate deceased report to LexisNexis FL before this settlement, you could file a separate Reservation Request form alongside your claim. Doing so lets you collect the settlement payment and still bring your own lawsuit for an alleged violation of the FCRA’s reinvestigation requirements.1DeceasedReportSuit.com. Scroggins v. LexisNexis FL If you did not submit a Reservation Request, the general release applies and your FCRA claims against LexisNexis FL for conduct in the class period are gone.
