Exxon Mobil is facing a class action lawsuit for allegedly violating the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) by printing too many credit and debit card digits on customer receipts.
The suit was filed in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of named plaintiff Daniel Quinn and potentially many others throughout the U.S. and Illinois.
The lawsuit alleges that Exxon Mobil branded stores knowingly or recklessly failed to comply with FACTA by printing customer receipts displaying the first six and the last four digits of its customers' debit or credit card numbers. This alleged violation has reportedly led to an invasion of privacy for customers, elevated risk of identity theft, loss of control over their card information, and the need to protect their receipt to prevent further disclosure.
Quinn argues that due to Exxon Mobil's unlawful conduct, he and other proposed class members are entitled to an award of statutory damages under the FACTA law.
Quinn and the class of additional plaintiffs are represented by attorneys Keith J. Keogh and Michael S. Hilicki, of Keogh Law, of Chicago; and attorney Scott D. Owens, of Hollywood, Florida.
