Court Drops Heartland from FACTA Lawsuit

A federal judge has granted a motion that removes Heartland Payment Systems from a lawsuit brought by a customer against a merchant for printing a credit card expiration date on a receipt in violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA).

The merchant and defendant in the case, Louise's Trattoria, brought Heartland into the suit as co-defendant, charging the payment company had failed to make sure her business was in compliance with federal law. In excusing Heartland as a defendant in the case, Judge S. James Otero of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled that the merchant failed to show that Heartland had violated its card processing contract or any other agreement between Heartland and the merchant.
