A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging TitleMax of Texas Inc., which provides title loans to consumers, illegally obtained private information about consumers from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
If your name and address were obtained by TitleMax from a Texas motor vehicle record, you may be entitled to a cash payment from the TitleMax class action settlement.
Plaintiff Dexter Sistrunk alleges TitleMax employees violated the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act by obtaining consumer information including names, addresses and vehicle information from the Texas DMV.
“Beginning in the summer of 2012, Defendants began engaging in a pattern of accessing state motor vehicle records to obtain information about consumers who had previously obtained title loans from other companies for purposes of marketing its services to these potential customers,” the TitleMax class action lawsuit says.
TitleMax allegedly used this information to contact consumers, without their consent, in order to solicit future business. Obtaining this information for the purpose of soliciting new customers constitutes a violation of the DPPA, according to the TitleMax class action lawsuit.
The defendants deny the allegations but agreed to settle the TitleMax class action lawsuit to avoid the uncertainty and expense of ongoing litigation. The TitleMax class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Oct. 25, 2017.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the TitleMax class action settlement is Dec. 22, 2017.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the TitleMax settlement include anyone whose name and address were obtained by the TitleMax defendants from a Texas motor vehicle record, through searching PublicData.com and/or DataTrax websites.
