Proof Required?
Refresco Beverages, one of the world's largest beverage manufacturers and bottlers, has agreed to a $4.27 million class action settlement related to its job applicant screening practices. If you applied for a job with Refresco Beverages and were subject to a background check or other pre-employment screening, you may be entitled to a share of this settlement fund. Lawsuits like this one typically arise when a company is alleged to have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or similar state laws — for example, by failing to properly notify applicants before running background checks, not providing copies of reports, or not giving applicants a chance to dispute negative findings. While Refresco has not admitted any wrongdoing, the company agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. Full details about the settlement, including the exact claim deadline and payout amounts per person, are still being confirmed. This page will be updated as more information becomes available. In the meantime, read on to see if you likely qualify and how Class Action Buddy can help you file when the claim form opens.
