Is your receipt worth money?

You may be entitled to money damages based on information on your receipts.

Federal law protects consumers’ private information from being disclosed on credit and debit card receipts.

Under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), vendors can only print the last five digits of a card number on a receipt and cannot include any portion of the card’s expiration date.

If a retailer, restaurant, or other vendor prints receipts from credit card transactions that contain more than this information, they may be violating consumer rights under FACTA. In these situations, consumers may be able to collect compensation by taking legal action.

This example shows what numbers to look for and what a FACTA violation may look like:
