The Law: Receipts and Identity Theft

Under a federal law called the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), any business that accepts credit or debit cards is prohibited from printing more than the last five digits of the card number, or the card's expiration date, on an electronically printed receipt given to the customer. Congress passed this rule to protect consumers: a receipt that shows too many card digits or the expiration date is a roadmap for identity thieves and credit card fraud.

“…no person that accepts credit cards or debit cards for the transaction of business shall print more than the last 5 digits of the card number or the expiration date upon any receipt provided to the cardholder at the point of the sale or transaction.” — Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681c(g)

We are investigating whether receipts printed at Lacoste stores in California violated this law. When a violation is willful, FACTA allows consumers to recover statutory damages of $100 to $1,000 per violation — without having to prove they actually lost money or suffered identity theft — and, in some cases, additional punitive damages and attorney's fees.

Please note: This is an ongoing investigation. No lawsuit has been decided, no result is guaranteed, and this is not a promise of compensation. Whether any individual has a claim depends on the specific facts. We are gathering information from Lacoste shoppers in California to evaluate the matter.

We are especially interested in hearing from customers who made a purchase before September 2025, but we want to hear from anyone who shopped at a Lacoste store in California — regardless of when. Even if you no longer have your receipt, please reach out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this investigation about? +

A federal law called FACTA prohibits stores from printing more than the last five digits of a credit or debit card number — or the card's expiration date — on the receipt they hand to customers. We are investigating whether receipts printed at Lacoste stores in California complied with this law, and we are gathering information from shoppers who made purchases there.

What is FACTA, and why does it matter? +

FACTA — the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act — is a federal consumer protection law. Its receipt "truncation" rule exists to prevent identity theft and credit card fraud by keeping sensitive card information off printed receipts. When a business willfully violates the rule, the law allows consumers to recover statutory damages of $100 to $1,000 per violation, even without proof of actual financial loss.

Does this cost me anything? +

No. There is no cost or obligation to submit your information. We are investigating the matter and gathering information at this stage.

What if I don't have my receipt anymore? +

That's okay — please reach out anyway. The store location and approximate date of your purchase are the most helpful details. Uploading a copy of the receipt is optional, and if you do upload one, you may cover or black out the card digits first.
