I'm not sure that ruling really has the impact you say it does here. That ruling held that of the 8,000 plaintiffs in the class action suit, only 1,853 had standing because their incorrect credit reports were actually sent to businesses. The remaining 6,332 did not have standing because although their files were incorrect, this incorrect information was never transmitted to anyone (I am getting this from scotusblog coverage). I wouldn't call this a very, very high bar to clear.
