Six Flags Entertainment Corp. is the defendant in a proposed class action filed in Georgia that alleges the company violated federal law by printing too much customer payment information on point-of-sale receipts. Citing possible Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) violations, the 23-page complaint alleges the Texas-headquartered company, which owns and operates 20 theme parks across North America, provided the plaintiff with an electronically-printed payment receipt that unlawfully displayed the first six and last four digits of his payment card number. The case says the plaintiff has made other purchases at the defendant’s Six Flags Over Georgia park over the years for which he claims he was also given non-FACTA-compliant receipts.

The proposed class the lawsuit seeks to cover includes anyone in the United States who, when paying via credit or debit card for admittance or goods or services at any Six Flags theme park, was given a point-of-sale receipt that displayed “more than the last five digits of said [card]” within the last two years.
