Deadline to file for payment in Trader Joe’s receipt settlement approaching
Summary
A class-action lawsuit alleged that Trader Joe's violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act by printing the first six and last four digits of customers' credit or debit cards on some receipts between March 5 and July 19, 2019. Although the company denied wrongdoing and no identity theft was reported, it agreed to a $7.4 million settlement. Eligible shoppers from that period may file a claim by the June 9 deadline to receive a share of the fund, with an estimated individual payment of $102.45 depending on the number of valid claims. The settlement remains pending court approval, with a hearing scheduled for early August, and any appeals could delay the disbursement of payments.
