Inadequate Compensation by Settlement Administrators of the Equifax Data Breach Class Action Lawsuit

Seeger Weiss is investigating claims from class action claimants who may not have received full and fair compensation in the Equifax Data Breach Class Action lawsuit administered by JND In re Equifax Inc. Customer Data Sec. Breach Litig.. Northern District of Georgia

What Was the Equifax Data Breach Class Action Lawsuit?

The Equifax Data Breach Class Action lawsuit was filed after an estimated 147 million consumers’ data was exposed in a breach of Equifax systems. Equifax is a credit bureau which tabulates credit scores. The company collects personal information about millions of consumers and is responsible for keeping their information safe and secure.

In 2017, Equifax announced that a data breach had occurred and later agreed to a global settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, along with 50 states and U.S. territories. The agreement included $425 million to help people who had been affected by data exposure.

Who Are the Settlement Administrators?

JND among others are providers of class action settlement administration services. In the Equifax Data Breach Class Action lawsuit, JND Legal Administration was appointed as administrator. As court-appointed Settlement Administrators in the Equifax Data Breach Class Action Lawsuit, JND was obligated to act in the best interests of the settlement class members.

Concerns About Improper Profits

Evidence suggests that JND may have improperly profited by receiving “revenue-sharing” payments from digital, virtual, or gift card payment systems used to distribute class action compensation and interest that should have been deposited in the class action settlement fund. Revenue sharing and improper taking of interest essentially amounts to a kickback, which occurs when digital or gift cards go unredeemed, or interest does not flow to the class action settlement fund.

JND Settlement Administrators may have failed to disclose their financial interests to class members or the courts. They may also have established additional entities designed to conceal or shield their interests in the payment process—ultimately depriving class members of the full compensation they were owed.

  • Who am I talking to when I call Seeger Weiss?

    Almost of our calls are initially handled by our talented reception team. Depending on the nature of the call, they may connect you to one of Seeger Weiss’s intake specialists (for prospective clients) or to one of our case management paralegals (for current clients). These teams are here to answer your questions, provide context, and help guide you through process of becoming a client or of pursuing your case in court.

  • Do I have to pay?

    The vast majority of the work Seeger Weiss does is on a contingency basis. That means we are paid only once we have secured financial compensation via trial or settlement—usually a percentage of the total award. Individual retainer agreements, which prospective clients must review and sign to retain Seeger Weiss as their legal representation, will share information on how your contingency fee works.

  • I just signed a retainer, what happens next?

    Once you’ve signed a retainer agreement with Seeger Weiss, the firm becomes your legal representation. For the firm, our next step is to gather as much information about your case as possible. Typically, that means you’ll sign authorization forms that allow us to speak on your behalf to or obtain information from other organizations and institutions, such as a primary care physician’s office or a hospital.
