$6M Hibbett Stores FACTA Class Action Settlement (2023)

To resolve any FACTA claims that Hibbett violated the law by intentionally including more than five final digits of credit card or debit card numbers on retailer shop (POS) receipts, the corporation will pay up to $6,000,000. Each individual can claim up to $20 without proof.

Hibbett is a wholesale distributor for retail establishments across the United States. The majority of their things are common household items. Hibbett’s items are available at a variety of retailers, including Target, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Dollar General, Kmart, Sears, and Kohl’s.

The lawsuit says that Hibbett, Inc. broke the Federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA) by printing more than the last five digits of its customers’ credit or debit card numbers on their receipts. Due to this, customers at the defendants’ more than 1,000 sportswear stores are more likely to have their identities stolen.

What is FACTA?

During 2003, lawmakers in Washington, D.C., enacted the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA). Consumers are protected from abusive debt collectors by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should be contacted if you believe you have been the victim of discriminatory lending practices. Racial and other forms of discrimination in lending are illegal under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA).

Under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), lenders must make information about mortgage products’ interest rates, fees, and other charges public. According to the FACTA Act, the expiration date or more than the last five digits of a credit card number may not be shared between businesses. Penalties for breaking this provision range from $100 to $1,000 per infraction.

Class members don’t need to show physical proof of receipt.
