Printing More Than 5 Digits of a Credit Card Number on a Receipt
The Fair and Accurate Transactions Act prohibits printing more than five digits of a credit card number on a sales receipt. A consumer filed suit against J. Crew for displaying the first six and the last four digits on a receipt. However, a New Jersey district court determined that the consumer needed to show actual harm, not just greater susceptibility to fraud. Still, probably a good idea to stick to the 5-digit limit, J. Crew. [11/1/16]
