The LoanCare data breach settlement stems from a cybersecurity incident that potentially exposed sensitive personal information of thousands of customers across the United States. A $5.9 million settlement has been proposed to resolve the claims, offering both financial compensation and identity protection to affected individuals. If you received a notice, you may be eligible for payments of up to $5,000 depending on your situation.
What happened in the LoanCare data breach?
In November 2023, LoanCare, LLC and its parent company Fidelity National Financial, Inc. were targeted in a cybersecurity incident. Plaintiffs alleged that the breach compromised personal data such as names, Social Security numbers, financial details, and contact information. The companies deny any wrongdoing and claim no harm occurred, but agreed to a class action settlement to avoid further litigation costs.
Who qualifies for the settlement?
You are considered a Settlement Class Member if you reside in the United States and received a notice from LoanCare stating your personal data may have been impacted by the breach. You are excluded if you are:
- An employee, officer, or agent of LoanCare or FNF
- A government entity
- A judge involved in the case or related court staff
- Someone who submits a valid opt-out request
If you’re unsure about your eligibility, you can call 1-855-944-4059 or contact the Settlement Administrator by mail.
What benefits are available through the LoanCare data breach settlement?
Eligible individuals can choose from the following compensation options:
Cash Payment A:

- Credit monitoring or credit report fees
- Costs for freezing or unfreezing credit
- Postage, phone, or travel expenses related to fraud resolution

- Up to $5,000 for extraordinary losses caused by identity theft or fraud that are not covered under ordinary losses, provided you show proof of attempts to mitigate or recover the losses
