Fairmont Hotels & Resorts (U.S.), Inc., San Joaquin County Superior Court Case No. STK-CV-UBT-2019-147. The lawsuit claims that Fairmont Hotels & Resorts (U.S.) Inc., now known as Accor Management US Inc. ("FHR" or "Defendant") willfully violated the federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ("FACTA") by printing more than the last five digits of credit and debit card numbers and/or by failing to mask the expiration date on the customers' credit and debit card folios or receipts provided to guests between November 13, 2015 through November 16, 2017.
