Background of the TitleMax Data Breach Class Action

TMX Finance is a financial services provider offering personal loans and title loans under the brands TitleMax, InstaLoan, and TitleBucks. In early 2023, the company announced a data breach that exposed the personal information of countless consumers, including:

  • Full names
  • Social Security numbers
  • Driver’s license information
  • Financial account details

The breach occurred between February 3 and 14, 2023. Following this event, multiple lawsuits alleged that TMX Finance failed to implement adequate cybersecurity measures to protect consumer data. Rather than admit wrongdoing, the company agreed to settle for $6.5 million to resolve the allegations and avoid prolonged litigation.

Who’s Eligible for the TitleMax Data Breach Class Action Settlement?

You may qualify for a cash payment or credit if:

  • You are a customer of TMX Finance, TitleMax, TitleBucks, or InstaLoan.
  • Your personal information was accessed, stolen, or compromised in the February 2023 breach.

If you received a data breach notice from TMX Finance or used any of their services before the breach, you’re likely included in the settlement class.
