SAN DIEGO (Legal Newsline) – A California consumer alleges a hair salon in the state unlawfully printed more than five digits of her credit card number on a receipt.
Katherine Martinez, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, filed a complaint on behalf of all others similarly situated on Sept. 14 in the San Diego County Superior Court of California against Supercuts Inc., doing business as Encinitas Ranch Supercuts, and Does 1 to 20 alleging violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act and California Business and Professions Code.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on July 24, 2017, she used her Visa credit card at the Encinitas Ranch Supercuts and that the defendant provided a receipt that contained both the first four and last four digits of her card number in violation of FACTA regulations.
The plaintiff holds Supercuts Inc. responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to protect Martinez and others similarly situated against identity theft and fraud by printing more than the last five digits of her card number on the receipt.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks actual damages, statutory damages, restitution, disgorgement, attorneys' fees and costs and other further relief the court deems just and proper. She is represented by Matthew M. Loker and Elizabeth A. Wagner of Kazerouni Law Group APC in Costa Mesa, California and others.
The case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California on Nov. 2.
