Darden Restaurants, Inc.—the company that runs Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Yard House, and The Capital Grille, among many other chain restaurants—finds itself as the defendant in a proposed class action filed by two plaintiffs who claim it violated federal credit reporting laws by failing to properly truncate customers’ payment card numbers on point-of-sale receipts.

Citing potential violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), an amendment of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the complaint alleges the plaintiffs were, at separate times, given receipts at one of the defendant’s Broward County, Florida eateries that displayed the full expiration date of their payment cards. Moreover, the case claims the receipts in question also identified that the plaintiffs’ method of payment was a debit card. The lawsuit goes on to say one plaintiff, after receiving an FACTA-violating receipt, visited other locations run by Darden Restaurants and found that “at least nine other restaurants were printing receipts in violation of FACTA’s truncation requirement.”
