A settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit alleging Microsoft Corporation violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) by providing some consumers who used a credit or debit card to make purchases at a Microsoft retail store with a receipt that displayed more than the last five digits of their payment card number.

If you made a purchase with a credit or debit card at a Microsoft retail store between Nov. 20, 2013 and Feb. 28, 2017, you may be entitled to payment from the Microsoft FACTA class action settlement.

FACTA is a federal law enacted by Congress in 2003 to provide consumers with additional protections against identity theft. One such protection under FACTA prohibits businesses from printing more than the last five digits of a payment card’s number on a receipt provided to a customer at a point-of-sale transaction.

Plaintiff Carlos Guarisma alleges Microsoft willfully violated FACTA by printing point-of-sale receipts for credit and debit card transactions that displayed more than the last five digits of the payment card number. He alleges he used a credit card to purchase goods from a Microsoft store in Florida, at which time he was provided with a printed receipt that displayed the first six digits and the last four digits of his credit card account number.

Microsoft denies the allegations but has agreed to pay $1.2 million to settle the FACTA class action lawsuit and avoid the burden and expense of ongoing litigation. The Microsoft class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Feb. 28, 2017.

Class Members who would like to opt out of or object to the Microsoft FACTA settlement must do so no later than Sept. 26, 2017.

Who’s Eligible

Class Members of the Microsoft FACTA settlement include anyone who, between Nov. 20, 2013 and Feb. 28, 2017, used a credit or debit card in a transaction at a Microsoft retail store, and for whom Microsoft printed a point-of-sale receipt for the transaction that displayed more than the last five digits of the payment card number. Emailed receipts do not qualify.

Potential Award

$100 (estimated)

The amount of compensation each claimant will receive depends on the total number of timely and valid claims filed. The settlement administrator estimates that individual payments may be around $100.

    I am not sure if you are legit, I’ve been reading negative reviews of people not receiving their payment, however my potential class action lawsuits should be the biggest in history. The name of the owner/distributor of the biggest food &beverage chain is Nestle’s from Switzerland, this company uses aborted fetus kidney cells into the consumer’s food & beverage product to alter the flavor in order to enhance an uncontrollable addiction for his victims to consume & repetively purchase his goods in order to capitalize & increase his profit margin by practicing the ill-repute act of initializing cannabolism without the consumer’s knowledge that they are innocently consuming a potential human body parts &entrails causing an addictive behavior pattern of the consumption of food & beverage products, such as an addiction to Pepsi-Cola, Lipton icetea, hot pockets, KitKat, Nestle’s chocolate candy & hot chocolates, Dreyer’s icecream and yogurt, baby food & baby formula, Taster’s Choice coffee is classified under Nestle’s, Nescafe imported & distributed from Puerto Rico, Glendale, California a distributor of Nestle’s Nescafe freeze-dried coffee crystals, Arlington, Virginia, headquarters of distribution of Nestle’s,Nescafe they have assorted blends, House Blend, French Roast, the new Columbian and decaf and the coffee blends are all the same dirt coffee with dirt coffee flavor there no coffee aroma like Taster’s Choice was popular for and it’s not Taster’s Choice, it’s bulk cheap coffee only worth $1.00 for a 5lb bag and is selling it in a fancy glass jar for $10.99. Consumer’s are only paying for the glass jar making 100%profit off the name brand that no longer is in business bought the rights to continue using the brand name and this coffee goes flying off the shelves consumer addiction to dirt, So he poses a potential health hazard to consumers deception by misrepresentation, this practice must be abolished, under the consumer protection law he is in violation and this practice has no privision of legal, rule, regulation nor law permitting this inhumane act nor approval statement by the Food and Drug Administration, how much of the population has this criminal insane madman cannabolized
