● You may be eligible to receive a payment from a proposed $5,085,000 non-reversionary class action Settlement (the “Settlement Fund”).
● The class action Lawsuit concerns two Data Incidents that occurred in September 2022 (the “2022 Data Incident”) and in December 2023 (the “2023 Data Incident”) involving U-Haul International Inc. (“U-Haul” or “Defendant”) in which it was determined that an unauthorized third party may have gained access to certain U-Haul files containing sensitive U-Haul customers’ personal information, including names and driver’s license numbers (“Private Information”). U-Haul denies any wrongdoing and denies that it has any liability but has agreed to settle the Lawsuit on a class wide basis.
● To be eligible to make a claim, you must have received a Notice of Recent Security Incident letter related to either U-Haul Data Incident and resided in California at any time during either incident, between November 5, 2021, to April 5, 2022, or on about December 5, 2023.
● Eligible claimants under the Settlement Agreement will be eligible to receive the following Settlement benefit:
❖ Pro Rata Monetary Payment: Estimated $100 monetary payment from the Settlement Fund that will be increased or decreased pro rata depending on the amount remaining in the Settlement Fund after allocation of the Settlement Fund for Class Representative Service Awards, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and Settlement Administration Expenses.
