A proposed class action over alleged Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) abuses claims defendant Kirkland’s, Inc. printed too many digits of consumers’ credit card numbers on receipts. Filed by two plaintiffs, the lawsuit alleges the defendant ignored a three-year compliance period set upon the passage of FACTA in 2003 and has since continued to fail to protect consumers from possible identity theft and fraud by printing more than the last five digits of credit and debit card numbers on receipts. Specifically, the case continues, Kirkland’s allegedly printed the first six and the last four digits of proposed class members’ payment cards on receipts.

The class proposed by the case names anyone to whom Kirkland’s provided an electronically printed receipt for a point of sale transaction within the last two years on which the company printed more than the last five digits of a credit or debit card and the expiration date of the particular card.
