The Navy Pier IMAX has agreed to pay as much as $455,000 in order to settle a class action lawsuit stemming over allegations that the theater violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA).
Lead plaintiff Scott Redman claims that the IMAX Chicago Theater printed more than the last five digits of customers’ credit or debit card numbers on receipts in violation of FACTA laws.
The IMAX FACTA class action lawsuit does not allege that Redman suffered from any actual monetary damage so in order to succeed in court he would need to prove that IMAX willfully violated FACTA requirements.
According to the IMAX class action lawsuit settlement, Class Members who submit a valid Claim Form before the deadline of Feb. 8, 2016 will be entitled to receive a portion of the Settlement Fund.
IMAX denies all allegations, liability and wrongdoing but has agreed to the terms of the FACTA class action settlement in order to avoid further litigation costs.
The FACTA class action settlement does not involve any IMAX theaters other than the Navy Pier Theater in Chicago.
UPDATE: On Mar. 4, 2016, the court granted final approval of this settlement. Settlement Checks will be distributed on Mar. 25, 2016. Keep checking this article for updates or check the settlement website at www.IMAXChicagoCardSettlement.com
UPDATE 2: On Mar. 25, 2016, settlement checks were sent out but those checks had an incomplete routing number. According to the settlement administrator, new checks will be sent out on Mar. 31, 2016. Class Members who already deposited their checks and incur fees because of it will be reimbursed.
