Lakeview Loan Servicing Data Breach Class Action Lawsuit Overview:
- Who: Season Taylor and Matthew Taylor filed a class action lawsuit against Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC.
- Why: The Taylors claim Lakeview failed to protect their sensitive personal information from a data breach in October of last year.
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Florida federal court.
Lakeview Loan Servicing failed to secure the sensitive personal information of its customers and employees during an October 2021 data breach, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiffs Season Taylor and Matthew Taylor, a married couple, claim the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of more than 2.5 million current and former Lakeview customers was exposed in the breach.
“Plaintiffs bring this class action against Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard sensitive Personally Identifiable Information provided by and belonging to its customers,” the Lakeview Loan Servicing class action states.
The Taylors say they received letters from Lakeview in March informing them about the data breach and that information such as their names, addresses and loan and Social Security numbers had been exposed.
Lakeview ‘Negligent’ In Protecting Customer Data, Class Action Claims
Lakeview’s “negligent and/or careless acts and omissions and the failure to protect PII of Defendant’s current and former customers” resulted in the breach, the Taylors claim.
They argue they now face a “lifetime risk” of identity theft and claim they have been informed that the exposed PII has already been placed for sale on the “dark web.”
“Plaintiffs and Class Members had no idea their PII had been compromised, and that they were, and continue to be, at significant risk of identity theft and various other forms of personal, social and financial harm,” the Lakeview Loan Servicing class action states.
The Taylors claim Lakeview is guilty of negligence, breach of implied contract and breach of fiduciary duty. They are demanding a jury trial and requesting injunctive relief along with actual, consequential and nominal damages for themselves and all class members.
The Taylors want to represent a nationwide class of individuals whose PII was accessed or exfiltrated during the data breach.
In a separate class action lawsuit filed against Lakeview in 2020, a consumer alleged the company charged improper pay-to-pay mortgage payment fees.

I would also like to be included as I have also received a letter stating that my information was stolen as well.
How do we join lawsuit?
I Just received my letter as well I would like to be included in the class action if possible.
Yes I would like to included on this law suit. LLC is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. And to top it off all of our personal info is out there. When you call them you never speak with same person and they claim to have no extension. Now they are foreclosing on me, trying to get hardship help and they dragging their feet. They are heartless and unethical.
How do we join the lawsuit?
I was also notified in August 2022 regarding the data breach involving Lakeview Loan Servicing. I am so tired of dealing with financial institutions that require an individual’s personal information yet fail to take the necessary steps to protect it! Then, they give a name of a credit monitoring company I’ve never heard of for free credit monitoring. How lame! Sounds like a scam to me. How can a person know for sure?
How about a huge monetary settlement for the people who have to deal with this for the rest of their lives!
I also just received the letter . . but how do we file suit .. nobody on here is replying
These data breaches have become common. Consumers need more than an apology for the inconvenience and a free year of credit monitoring.
Please contact me. At the very least, we should get multiple years of credit monitoring. Everyone knows that thieves wait over a year to use stolen data. They know you let your guard down by then.
I just received the letter notifying me of the breach, and that my information was accessed. Lakeview is offering 1 year of credit monitoring, but I’m curious if taking advantage of that service would nullify my eligibility to join the class action suit.
Lakeview is the absolute worse and business practices seem very predatory. Still haven’t received a letter..am I supposed to assume I wasn’t impacted. Doubt that!! How do I join suit?
Please include me as well
