NJ Lenders Corp Data Breach Settlement
Court case: Castenie et al., v. NJ Lenders Corp, Case No. PAS-L-001210-26
If you got a notice that your personal information was caught up in the NJ Lenders Corp cyberattack, this settlement offers you a choice of a flat cash payment or reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses, plus credit monitoring. Filing is quick and you pick whichever option fits your situation.
The Court has defined the Settlement Class this way: “All Persons who received direct notice that their Private Information may have been impacted in the Data Incident.” Excluded from the Class are: (a) all persons who are directors and officers of Defendant; (b) governmental entities; and (c) the Judge assigned to the Action, that Judge’s immediate family, and Court staff. The case is about “the targeted cyberattack on NJ Lenders' computer systems that occurred in August 2025 (the “Data Incident”)”, in which files that “may have contained personal information such as name; Social Security numbers; and/or other non-public personally identifiable information” were accessed. Payout: All Settlement Class Members may claim Credit Monitoring and one of two Cash Payment options. Credit Monitoring: “All Settlement Class Members are eligible to enroll in one year of CyEx Financial Shield Complete... This comprehensive service comes with $1 million of financial fraud insurance”. Cash Payment A – Documented Losses: “If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the Data Incident, you can get back up to $2,500.00. The losses must have occurred between August 18, 2025, and October 1, 2026.” Cash Payment B – Alternate Cash: “Instead of Cash Payment A, you may claim a one-time $40.00 cash payment. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim this payment.” “You may claim only one total payment from these options.”. Proof of purchase is optional. Claim deadline: October 1, 2026. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on August 23, 2026.
