Overview
- Eligible shoppers are those who used a credit or debit card between March 5 and July 19, 2019 and received a receipt showing the first six and last four digits of the card number.
- Trader Joe’s denies liability and reports no identity-theft cases, though FACTA allows claims without showing fraud.
- Customers can file on the settlement website, by mail to the Los Angeles P.O. Box, or by calling 1-888-444-7415, and those without a Class ID may verify using card digits and the purchase date.
- Each approved claimant is currently estimated to receive about $102.45, subject to the number of valid claims and deductions for roughly $2.46 million in attorneys’ fees, administrative costs, and a $10,000 service award to the lead plaintiff.
- Court filings identify 757,663 affected card numbers, and payments would be sent after the judge grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
