Deadline Approaches for Trader Joe’s Receipt Settlement Claims
Trader Joe’s shoppers have until June 9 to file claims in a class action lawsuit settlement concerning receipt information. The lawsuit, filed in California, accused Trader Joe’s of violating the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act by printing the first six and last four digits of credit or debit card numbers on receipts for certain transactions between March 5, 2019, and July 19, 2019. Although Trader Joe’s denied any wrongdoing and no identity theft incidents were reported, the company agreed to a $7.4 million settlement. Affected customers, who may have received notifications via email or postcard, can file claims online or by mail. The settlement amount each claimant receives will depend on the number of valid claims submitted, with an estimated payout of $102.45 per claimant.
