Last chance to get up to $5,100 checks from $5m data breach settlement – exact steps to file a claim...
Summary
A $5 million settlement is available to those affected by a 2023 data breach at Medusind, a medical and dental billing company. The breach compromised sensitive consumer information, including names, addresses, and financial data. Class members can claim reimbursement for documented losses (up to $5,000) related to the breach, such as identity theft and fraud expenses. Those without documented losses can receive $100, and California residents are eligible for an additional $100, potentially raising the maximum payout to $5,100.
The deadline to submit a claim is December 29th. Claims can be filed online using a Unique ID and PIN from a mailed notice, or by mail with a postmark by December 29th. Documentation of losses is required for reimbursement claims.
Additionally, the article highlights two other settlements with approaching deadlines: a $15,750 potential payout from Jaguar Land Rover regarding defective turbochargers (deadline December 29th) and a $47-$237 payout from AARP for allegedly sharing user data with Facebook (deadline December 31st).
