Dahl Administration, LLC: If You Suffered Personal or Financial Losses in the Spring 2013 MAPCO Data Breach, You Could Get a Payment From a Class Action Settlement - www.mapcoconsumersettlement.com

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- If you used a credit card or debit card to make a purchase at a store owned and operated by MAPCO Express, Inc. ("MAPCO") between March 1, 2013 and April 30, 2103, the proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit could affect your rights, and entitle you to a settlement.

The plaintiff in a lawsuit called Mandi Phillips v. MAPCO Express, Inc., et al. claims that she and other similarly situated persons suffered losses and damages after MAPCO sustained a Data Breach in the spring of 2013, when certain of its customers' payment card data was stolen from its data systems in a hacking incident.  Plaintiff claims that MAPCO was negligent and violated the law by not preventing the Data Breach.  The parties to the Phillips lawsuit have asked the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, where the case is pending, to approve a settlement of the dispute on a class-wide basis.

If you:

• Are a resident of the United States or one of its territories
• Made a purchase at a MAPCO store, using a debit card or credit card, between March 1, 2013 and April 30, 2013
• Are the person responsible for the charges on that card, and
• Sustained damages as a result of the data breach (including out-of-pocket losses, unreimbursed fraudulent charges, or time spent remedying issues related to the Data Breach), then

you are a member of the proposed Settlement Class.  You may be entitled to a settlement payment, and your rights will be affected by the Settlement.  For more complete information about the Settlement, please visit www.mapcoconsumersettlement.com, or call 1-877-815-3459 to speak with the Settlement Administrator.

Cash Payments to the Proposed Settlement Class.  If the Court approves the Settlement, members of the proposed Settlement Class may be eligible to receive a cash payment of up to $500.00.  You will have to submit a claim form to receive a cash payment.  In particular, Class Members may claim the full amount, up to $500.00, of their documented out-of-pocket losses, documented unreimbursed fraudulent charges made on their payment cards, and time spent remedying issues related to the Data Breach, including up to 5 hours of time at $15 per hour.  If a Class Member does not choose to submit documentation of his or her losses, he or she may still self-certify the time spent remedying issues related to the Data Breach, of up to 2 hours at $15 per hour.  If the total amount of claims received and approved exceeds the total amount of the Settlement Fund, you will receive your pro rata share of the Settlement Fund.

Release of Claims by the Proposed Settlement Class.  If the Court approves the Settlement, certain claims the Class Members have against MAPCO will be released and extinguished.

Your Right to Exclude Yourself From the Settlement Class.  You can choose to exclude yourself from the Settlement by submitting a written Request for Exclusion.  If you choose to exclude yourself, you can keep whatever claims you have against MAPCO, but you cannot receive any cash payment from the Settlement.

Your Right to Object to the Settlement.  You can choose to object to the Settlement, or any part of it, by submitting a written objection.
