Settlement Documents
Background of the Lawsuit
On or around January 10, 2024, Premium Mortgage Corporation announced that personal information on its systems had been potentially compromised through unauthorized access occurring between August 24, 2023 and August 31, 2023. Approximately 10,835 customers were affected, with potentially compromised data including full names, Social Security numbers, payment card information, and financial account information.
Plaintiffs Cory Rehmsmeyer and Toni Hyde filed a class action lawsuit in New York Supreme Court, Monroe County, asserting claims related to the data breach and PMC’s handling of customer information. PMC denies all liability and wrongdoing. The parties agreed to settle to avoid protracted litigation and its associated costs and risks.
Under the settlement, Premium Mortgage Corporation has agreed to provide benefits to affected customers including reimbursement for documented losses up to $5,000, lost time compensation, and three years of credit monitoring, plus certain business practice improvements related to information security.
