FACTA Facts
FACTA is known as the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. It is an amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) that was added to help curtail and protect consumers from identity theft.
In limiting and curtailing issues of identity theft, and according to FACTA credit card protections, merchants, businesses and corporations are required to follow FACTA regulations in the following ways: they are not allowed to print out any portion of the consumer’s credit card or debit card number except for the last five on a purchase receipt, and they are prohibited from printing out any part of a consumer’s credit card of debit card expiration date on the purchase receipt.
Burger King is alleged to have violated FACTA regulations law by printing out more than just the last five digits of customers’ credit and debit card numbers.
On most purchase receipts that follow FACTA guidelines, credit card or debit card numbers on purchase receipts are typically hidden with the use of an *, or # sign to hide such pertinent information.
The Burger King FACTA Class Action Lawsuit is Case No. 1:17-cv-23776-FAM, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
