- Who: Nancy Randall filed a class action lawsuit against Mr. Cooper Group Inc.ย
- Why: Randall claims Mr. Cooper failed to protect the personally identifiable information of its customers during a data breach purportedly discovered by the mortgage lender at the end of last month.ย
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Texas federal court.ย
Mortgage corporation Mr. Cooper failed to protect the personally identifiable information (PII) of its customers during a data breach discovered by the company at the end of last month, a new class action lawsuit alleges.ย
Plaintiff Nancy Randall claims Mr. Cooper was obligated by industry standards to safeguard any information in its systems containing PII, yet allegedly failed to do so during a data breach event it purported to discover on Oct. 31.ย
Randall argues Mr. Cooper also failed to provide timely, accurate and adequate notice to inform herself and other class members that their PII allegedly had been compromised during the data breach.ย
โThe security incident was wide-reaching, impacting a number of the Defendantโs computer systems and compromising the PII of millions of people,โ the Mr. Cooper class action states.ย
Randall wants to represent a nationwide class and Washington subclass of individuals who had their PII maintained by Mr. Cooper and were sent a notice regarding the data breach.ย
Mr. Cooper failed to implement, follow โbasic security procedures,โ class action says
Randall argues her and other class members PII is now โin the hands of criminalsโ due to an alleged failure by Mr. Cooper to โimplement and follow basic security procedures.โย
โConsequently, Plaintiff and Class Members have had to spend, and will continue to spend, significant time and money in the future to protect themselves due to the Defendantโs failures,โ the Mr. Cooper class action states.ย
Randall claims Mr. Cooper is guilty of unjust enrichment, breach of implied contract, negligence, negligence per se and is in violation of the Washington Consumer Protection Act.ย
The plaintiff is demanding a jury trial and requesting declaratory and injunctive relief along with an award of compensatory, statutory, treble and/or punitive damages for herself and all class members.ย
In March, Nationstar โ which is now known as Mr. Cooper โ agreed to pay $5 million to end claims it sent incorrect automated clearing house entries to the bank accounts of mortgage borrowers in April 2021.ย

I was affected by data breach. Please add me to the lawsuit
My dad didnโt receive anything as of today a notice of the breach but he did receive information about a credit card that was opened in his name. We called that company and they took care of it and we informed the credit companies that his identity has been compromised somehow but we didnโt know where until now seeing the breach online.
I received a notice dated December 12/18 2023 stating I was a victim of the data breach.
I received a notice on December 29th, just within the sixty day notice, my information had been compromised. So I went two months knowing it had happened but no notice. If we take part in a lawsuit, how does that affect our loan debt, will they be tougher on us because of it. Gonna go back and look at my inbox. They announced a much lower number in the beginning.
I received a email and direct mail.
