LendUS denies the claims and that it did anything wrong.
  • The Settlement includes approximately 11,570 individuals that LendUS notified about the Data Incident on or around January 19, 2022. You are included in the Settlement if you were mailed a notice by LendUS or if LendUS previously notified you by mail about the Data Incident.

The Settlement provides up to $2,500 for proven monetary extraordinary expenses for Settlement Class Members who have incurred extraordinary expenses and who submit a valid Claim Form. Additionally, the Settlement provides $100 for Settlement Class Members who were California residents at the time of that Data Incident, who attest to same, and who submit a valid Claim Form. Lastly, the Settlement provides 36 months of free Identity-Theft Protection and other benefits called “Financial Shield” by Pango to all Settlement Class Members.
