Key Facts

  • Plaintiffs Juandel Pena and Martina Ruiz, proceeding pro se, sued Wells Fargo under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) on November 26, 2025.
  • On May 5, 2026, the district court adopted a magistrate judge's recommendation to deny plaintiffs' renewed motion for preliminary injunction.
  • In a separate order on the same day, the court granted in part and denied in part plaintiffs' motion to strike affirmative defenses, striking only the 23rd defense which Wells Fargo had already agreed to withdraw.
  • No objections were filed to either magistrate judge's report, and the court found no clear error on the face of the record.
  • No damages, financial exposure, or injunctive relief was awarded against Wells Fargo in either ruling.

Financial Impact

No financial impact — both rulings are procedural and involve no monetary award or business restriction.

Risk Factors

  • Case remains pending; future adverse rulings on the merits could create minor litigation expense.
  • No class action or material precedent risk — this is an individual pro se action.
