Consumers who used a credit, debit, or other payment card (other than a Saks First-branded credit card) at a Saks, Saks OFF 5TH, or Lord & Taylor store might be eligible to claim a reimbursement ranging from $30 to $5,000 thanks to a $2 million Hudson’s Bay Company and Saks data breach settlement.

The Class includes anyone who used a credit, debit, or prepaid card (other than a Saks First branded credit card) at a Saks location, Lord & Taylor store, or Saks OFF 5TH between May 1, 2017, and April 1, 2018, within the United States and its territories.

Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit against CLICK HERE TO FILE A CLAIM », Saks Fifth Avenue LLC, Saks & Company LLC, Hudson’s Bay Company ULC, and Lord & Taylor LLC alleged the company’s negligence resulted in a destructive data breach.

Hudson’s Bay Company owns or ground leases 58 retail properties and controls more than 168 additional properties throughout the United States, according to the company’s website.

The defendants deny all accusations and claims of wrongdoing. 

While no Court or judicial entity has ruled on this case, both parties have decided to compromise to end the current class action lawsuit. The current settlement doesn’t establish guilt, and it is not an admission of guilt.

Class Members are eligible for reimbursement under the current Hudson’s Bay data breach settlement up to a total cap of $2 million. 

They can seek out $30 after providing proof that they used a credit, debit, or prepaid card (other than a Saks First-branded credit card) and needed to address the data breach. 

If Class Members experienced additional out-of-pocket expenses stemming from the data breach, they can seek up to $5,000 in reimbursement.

Class Members who wish to seek out reimbursement must complete and submit a claim form

Those who do not have proof need to file a Tier 1 Claim. Those who do have documented proof of their out-of-pocket costs should submit a Tier 2 Claim. 

Class Members are advised to read the instructions on the form carefully to ensure they file the right claim.

Attorney’s fees, expenses associated with administering the settlement, and the costs associated with notifying the settlement Class are all getting taken care of by the defendants.

In the event that claims exceed the $2 million cap, Class Member benefits will be subject to pro rata reduction as needed. 

If claims do not exceed $2 million, the defendants can retain any amounts not required for payment.

A final hearing in the Hudson’s Bay Company settlement is scheduled to take place on Jan. 11, 2022.

The deadline for objecting to the settlement is Nov. 19, 2021.

The deadline to file a claim is Jan. 31, 2022.
