Hilary Remijas and Joanne Kao v. The Neiman Marcus Group, LLC

Case No. 1:14-CV-01735 (N.D. Ill.)

United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois

This tool will allow you to learn whether information about your credit or debit card is consistent with information about credit or debit cards held by persons who may be eligible for cash payments under the proposed settlement in Hilary Remijas and Joanne Kao v. The Neiman Marcus Group, LLC, Case No. 1:14-CV-01735 (N.D. Ill.).

To use the tool, you will need to enter the last four digits of your credit or debit card that you believe was used at a Neiman Marcus store between July 16, 2013 and October 30, 2013, along with the last name of the cardholder as it appears on the card.

The tool will then tell you whether that information is consistent with information about credit or debit card cards in the following categories:

  1. Cards used at a Neiman Marcus store at a time that card-scraping malware was operating in that store. Holders of cards in this category may be entitled to up to $100 under the terms of the proposed settlement, if they file valid claims and the proposed settlement is approved.
  2. Cards used at a Neiman Marcus store between July 16, 2013 and October 30, 2013, but not at a time that the card-scraping malware was operating in that store. Holders of cards in this category may be entitled to up to $25 under the terms of the proposed settlement, if they file valid claims and the proposed settlement is approved.
  3. Cards not used at a Neiman Marcus store between July 16, 2013 and October 30, 2013. Holders of these cards are not entitled to benefits under the proposed settlement, and are not members of the settlement class.

Please note the following important points:

  • TO RECEIVE ANY BENEFITS UNDER THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT YOU MUST FILE A CLAIM. Use of this tool will not result in any benefits being paid to you. To obtain any benefits, you must file a separate claim by October 1, 2020. To file a claim, click here.
  • A POSITIVE RESULT FROM THIS TOOL DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE A CLASS MEMBER OR ARE ENTITLED TO BENEFITS UNDER THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT. This tool can only tell you whether the information you submit is consistent with information about persons who have valid claims. It is intended to provide a preliminary indication about whether you may be entitled to benefits, and how much. It cannot provide a definite statement that you are entitled to benefits. Only by filing a claim can you determine for certain whether you are entitled to benefits under this proposed settlement.
  • This tool cannot provide definite proof that someone is a class member or entitled to benefits because many people have similar last names and credit or debit card numbers. For example, if someone named Jane Smith submits the last name “Smith” as the cardholder name and “1-2-3-4” as the last four digits of her payment card, she may be told that that information is consistent with information about a card used at a store while the card-scraping malware was active in that store. However, it is possible that the card used while the malware was active was held by someone named John Smith who happens to have 1-2-3-4 as the last four digits of his card.
  • YOU MAY FILE A CLAIM EVEN IF YOU RECEIVE A NEGATIVE RESULT FROM THIS TOOL. Use of this tool is not a requirement to filing a claim, and you may file a claim even if this tool indicates that the information you submitted would not entitle you to any benefits under the proposed settlement.
