Schmitt v. SN Servicing Corporation, Inc.

Case No. 3:21-cv-03355-WHO

United States District Court for the Northern District of California

To: All individuals identified by SN Servicing Corporation and to whom SN Servicing Corporation sent notice that their information may have been exposed in the Security Incident defined below (the “Settlement Class Members”).

A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit titled, Schmitt v. SN Servicing Corporation, Inc., Case No. 3:21-cv-03355-WHO (N.D. Cal.). The lawsuit asserted claims against Defendant SN Servicing Corporation related to a data security incident whereby third parties may have accessed Defendant’s customers’ personal information in connection with unauthorized access to Defendant’s electronic files on or about October 15, 2020 (the “Security Incident”). SN Servicing Corporation notified consumers about the Security Incident in January and July 2021. Defendant denies all of the claims and denies that it did anything wrong.

The Settlement offers payments to Settlement Class Members who were sent notice that they were potentially affected by the Security Incident. The amount paid will depend upon how many people submit valid claims and whether:

  1. the Settlement Class Member potentially had their Social Security Number exposed in the Security Incident (preliminarily set at $75.00 per Settlement Class Member in this category and subject to adjustment based on the number of claims made); or
  2. the Settlement Class Member potentially had their personal information, but not Social Security Number, exposed in the Security Incident (preliminarily set at $25.00 per Settlement Class Member and subject to adjustment based on the number of claims made).
