Ouch! Millions of US consumers are affected b y this identity theft case. Are you one of them?
A notification program began today in the United States and Puerto Rico, as ordered by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the "Court"), to alert people who
had a credit card;
paid by check for an online or phone purchase;
got cash at a casino;
or had a check that bounced or was returned,
about a proposed settlement reached with Certegy Check Services, Inc. and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (together called "Certegy" or the "Defendants") in a class action lawsuit about stolen personal and financial information. Preliminary approval of the settlement was granted by the Court on March 21, 2008.
The lawsuit claims that a senior database administrator employed by Certegy took confidential information of millions of consumer's records and sold them to a third party for marketing purposes. Certegy fired the employee when the incident was discovered. The lawsuit further alleges that Certegy did not adequately protect confidential personal and financial information of its clients. Certegy denies that it did anything wrong, and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that any law was violated.
The Class includes anyone in the United States and Puerto Rico whose credit card, debit card, checking or demand deposit account numbers or information was included in multiple databases. This includes millions of consumers who were previously notified by their financial institution or Certegy that their personal and/or financial information was stolen.
A toll-free number, 1-877-580-9770, has been established in the case (called Lockwood v. Certegy Check Services, Inc. No. 8:07-cv-1434-T-23TGW), along with a website, http://www.datasettlement.com/, where notices, claim forms, and the settlement agreement may be obtained. Those affected may also write to Data Settlement, PO Box 3410, Portland, OR 97208-3410.

ReplyDeleteI just spoke to one of data settlements' employees, and they don't have any information about my account (which they are saying has been affected by theft.) AND, on top of that, Certegy doesn't have information either. They are saying that it was years ago, it's been discarded, and there's no way for them to have the information. Well how do I know which account to investigate? I was hung up on by that Certegy employee as well. Imagine that. I'm outraged.
