If you received a debit or credit card receipt for parking at the Memphis International Airport (the “Airport”) between June 4, 2008 and June 4, 2009, your rights may be affected by a class action settlement.
A class action settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (“Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority” or “Memphis-Shelby County Airport” or “Defendant”) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee (styled John Garland v. Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority, Class Action Case No. 09-2749) alleging, among other things, that Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (“FACTA”) by printing debit and credit card receipts for parking charges that displayed: (1) more than the last five digits of the person’s credit or debit card number; and/or (2) the expiration date of the person’s debit or credit card, according to the Memphis-Shelby County Airport parking FACTA class action settlement website and settlement notice.
Memphis-Shelby County Airport parking settlement class members reportedly include the following:
All persons who received electronically printed receipts from the Airport Authority at the point of sale or transaction, in a transaction occurring between June 4, 2008 and June 4, 2009, wherein the receipt displayed: (1) more than the last five digits of the person’s credit card or debit card number; and/or (2) the expiration date of the person’s credit card or debit card number (the “Prohibited Information”), but excluding any persons who have suffered actual damages as a result of identity theft proximately caused by the Airport Authority’s printing of the Prohibited Information or who are otherwise exempted from recovery by the terms of FACTA or its empowering regulations.
The Memphis-Shelby County Airport parking FACTA class action settlement reportedly provides that the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority will create a settlement fund with a guaranteed minimum of One Million Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,005,000.00), plus all costs of agreed notice and payment of the Class Representative Incentive Payment of $2,500.00 to Plaintiff, the proceeds of which will reportedly be distributed as follows:
The Airport will make available to Class Members parking vouchers to be used for parking at the Memphis International Airport. Vouchers will have a value of $5.00 each. Claimants submitting a Valid Claim Form demonstrating that they received one debit/credit card receipt containing the Prohibited Information between June 4, 2008 and June 4, 2009 will receive three vouchers for a total value of $15.00. Claimants submitting a Valid Claim Form demonstrating that they received more than one debit/credit card receipt containing the Prohibited Information between June 4, 2008 and June 4, 2009 will receive six vouchers for a total value of $30.00. The vouchers will expire no earlier than one year after the end of the Claim Period, and may be obtained by submitting a Claim Form. The guaranteed minimum value of the settlement will be $1,005,000. If the vouchers do not exhaust the guaranteed minimum value of the Settlement Fund, then the Airport will reduce the daily parking rate by $2.00 per transaction to all persons parking in “economy” parking at the Airport, until such time as the guaranteed minimum amount has been paid in full.
