Experian Data Breach, HP Printer Settlement Checks Mailed

Top Class Actions viewers are reportedly receiving checks in the mail from the HP printer firmware class action settlement and the Experian data breach class action settlement.

Experian Data Breach Settlement Checks

Our readers are receiving settlement checks worth up to $2,744 from an Experian data breach settlement.

The Experian data breach class action brought claims regarding a 2015 data breach that reportedly compromised the information of around 15 million consumers. The data breach reportedly involved names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, military ID numbers, passport numbers, and other information.

Experian agreed to pay $22 million to resolve the claims against them but did not admit wrongdoing in regards to the settlement.

The settlement benefitted consumers who received an Experian data breach notice in October 2015. Eligible Class Members were estimated to receive up to $40 in a default time award and two years of free credit monitoring. Reimbursement was reportedly available for out-of-pocket costs (up to $10,000) and time ($20 per hour, up to 7 hours).

The settlement was granted final approval on May 29, 2019. The deadline to file a claim with the Experian data breach class action settlement was April 11, 2019.

Settlement Class Members in the Experian data breach class action are represented by Tina Wolfson and Robert Ahdoot of Ahdoot & Wolfson PC, and Daniel S. Robinson of Robinson Calcagnie Inc.

The Experian Data Breach Class Action Lawsuit is In re: Experian Data Breach Litigation, Case No. 8:15-cv-01592, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

HP Printer Firmware Settlement Checks

Our readers are also receiving settlement checks from the HP printer firmware resolution worth as much as $164.20.

Plaintiffs in the HP printer firmware class action lawsuit claimed that HP printers contained firmware called “Dynamic Security” which made it impossible for consumers to use non-HP ink cartridges. When consumers attempted to use other brands of printer ink, they were allegedly given a fake error message.

HP agreed to pay $1.5 million to resolve the claims against them, although they did not admit any wrongdoing.

The settlement benefitted consumers who owned certain HP OfficeJet or OfficeJet Pro printers between March 1, 2015 and Dec. 31, 2017 and who experienced issues when using a non-HP ink cartridge. Eligible consumers who filed a claim were estimated to receive $100 and $150, although payments have seemingly been slightly above those estimates.

The settlement was given final approval on April 25, 2019. The deadline to file a claim with the HP printer firmware class action settlement was March 8, 2019.

Settlement Class Members are represented by attorneys from Girard Gibbs LLP, Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman PC, and Joseph Saveri Law Firm Inc.

The HP Printer Firmware Class Action Lawsuit is In re: HP Printer Firmware Update Litigation, Case No. 5:16-cv-05820-EJD, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division.
