File Your Claim →What Happened?
Pawn America, a chain of pawn shops operating across the Midwest, suffered a data breach in September 2021 that exposed the personal information of customers. The breach compromised names, Social Security numbers, financial account information, and other sensitive personal data of people who had conducted transactions with Pawn America stores.
Pawn shops handle sensitive financial and personal information from customers who bring in items for loans or sale — making this breach particularly concerning for affected individuals. Pawn America agreed to pay $3.185 million to settle the class action.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
Eligible claimants can receive $30 or more with no documentation required. If you have documented out-of-pocket losses caused by the breach such as fraud charges or identity theft costs, you can claim up to $5,000. Deadline is July 6, 2026 — this deadline is approaching very soon.
