Burger King Corporation is facing a proposed class action out of Florida that claims the company violated federal law when it printed too much credit and debit information on customer payment receipts. Citing possible violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), the lawsuit claims the plaintiff used his credit card at a Burger King location in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, in April and May 2017 and was given an electronically printed receipt that displayed the first six and last four digits of his payment account number. 

“The inclusion of the first six digits of [the plaintiff’s] card numbers on his receipts reduced the number of digits an identity thief would need to obtain to have his full card number, thereby reducing the difficulty of guessing or otherwise determining the full card account number,” the 19-page lawsuit argues.
