McLean Mortgage Data Breach Settlement
People whose personal information was potentially compromised in the October 2024 McLean Mortgage data incident may qualify for a $45 alternative cash payment. Claims are due December 10, 2026.
Key facts
The lawsuit alleges that personal information held by McLean Mortgage Corporation was potentially compromised in an October 2024 data incident. McLean has not admitted wrongdoing.
Who may qualify?
Living U.S. residents whose information was potentially compromised are covered, including people who received a notice about the incident. Certain people connected to McLean or the court are excluded.
What could you receive?
Claimants can choose $45 instead of other cash benefits. Other options include reimbursement for eligible documented losses and qualifying lost time. Eligible class members may also claim three years of credit monitoring.
What information is needed?
The $45 option does not require receipts. Online filing uses the notice LoginID and PIN. Other cash options can require documentation or a signed statement about time spent.
What dates matter?
Online claims are due December 10, 2026. If mailing a paper claim, aim for it to arrive by December 10 because the official materials give conflicting mailing instructions. The opt-out and objection deadline was November 10, 2026. The final approval hearing is scheduled for December 10, 2026.
Who may qualify
People in the United States whose personal information was potentially compromised in the October 2024 McLean Mortgage data incident may qualify.
What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. The $45 alternative cash payment needs a valid claim form but no receipts. Other cash options may require supporting documents or a signed statement.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Simpluris is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
Claim helps you check whether you may qualify, understand the official requirements, and see each settlement's claim deadline.
