What is the Lacoste credit card receipt lawsuit about?
Attorneys are investigating whether Lacoste may have violated federal privacy laws by printing receipts that showed more customer card information than the law allows.
The investigation focuses on several key issues:
- Lacoste may have printed receipts showing more than the last five digits of a customer’s card number, the card’s expiration date or both.
- The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) prohibits businesses from including this information on printed credit and debit card receipts.
- FACTA was designed to limit the amount of sensitive card information printed on receipts and reduce the risk of that information being misused.
- Consumers may be able to seek damages of $100 to $1,000 per violation under FACTA.
If Lacoste printed more card information on customers’ receipts than federal law allows, affected consumers may be able to take legal action as part of a FACTA lawsuit.
