A Wisconsin resident has filed a class action lawsuit against a property management company, alleging violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Domminic Canzoneri initiated the complaint on February 3, 2026, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin against Coachlight Communities, LLC. The case accuses the defendant of failing to comply with FCRA requirements when obtaining consumer reports for employment purposes.
The lawsuit stems from an incident in August 2025 when Canzoneri applied for a maintenance position at Coachlight Communities’ Wildwood Preserve apartment complex. According to the complaint, Canzoneri was not informed that his consumer report would be obtained as part of the employment process and did not authorize its procurement. Despite this, Coachlight Communities allegedly acquired his consumer report without providing prior disclosure or obtaining written consent as mandated by FCRA regulations.
Canzoneri’s legal filing highlights several key issues under FCRA guidelines. It claims that Coachlight Communities failed to adhere to statutory requirements such as disclosing their intent to obtain consumer reports for employment purposes and securing authorization from applicants. Furthermore, it alleges that adverse employment actions were taken based on these reports without first providing copies to applicants or allowing them time to address any inaccuracies contained within.
The plaintiff argues that these actions resulted in an invasion of privacy and deprived him of critical opportunities to challenge or correct information used against him in employment decisions. As a result, Canzoneri seeks statutory damages ranging from $100 to $1,000 per violation, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and other relief deemed appropriate by the court.
Represented by attorney Jayson A. Watkins from Siri & Glimstad LLP, Canzoneri aims to certify multiple classes within this lawsuit: Adverse Action Class, Disclosure Class, Authorization Class, and Certification Class. Each class addresses specific alleged violations concerning improper use and certification related to consumer reports.
This case is presided over by Judge [Name], under Case ID 1:26-cv-00184.
