Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Ria Schumacher, Individually and on Behalf of Others vs. SC Data Center, INC., d/b/a Colony Brands
Ria Schumacher, on behalf of a class, appealed the circuit court's dismissal of their petition against SC Data Center for alleged Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) violations and the denial of their motion to enforce a $333,600 settlement agreement. The circuit court had dismissed the petition for lack of standing and denied enforcement without providing reasoning. The appellate court reversed the denial of the motion to enforce the settlement, holding that the circuit court had authority to consider the motion as a collateral action and that the parties had formed a binding settlement contract. The case was remanded for enforcement of the settlement and a court-approval hearing.
