Dedicated to Protecting Your Consumer Rights
The federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA) was enacted in 2006 in an effort to curb the rise of fraud and identity theft. Businesses are required, by law, to shorten your credit card number on receipts to no more than the last five digits of the number and remove the credit card expiration date entirely. If you have received a credit card receipt that is in violation of this law, you may be entitled to compensation.

Holding Businesses Accountable
Most people do not pay too much attention to their receipts. You may not think that disclosure of your credit card's expiration date or the last few digits is a big deal. The fact is, that limited amount of information may be all that is necessary for a criminal to commit identity theft and fraud under your name. It can take years to reclaim your life if this happens. We can help you make sure that businesses follow the law and stop putting their customers at risk of criminal activity. We also handle a variety of other credit card privacy issues.
