NCB Agrees With BofA to Consolidate 7 Data Breach Class Actions

NCB Management Solutions shares the opinion of co-defendant Bank of America and agrees with class-action plaintiff Kylie Meyer’s April 13 motion that the court should consolidate Meyer’s data breach complaint with six others, and should set a deadline for filing a single consolidated complaint (see 2304250004), said NCB’s response Friday (docket 2:23-cv-01340) in U.S. District Court for Eastern Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. BofA is alleged in Meyer’s complaint to have sold delinquent credit card accounts to NCB for collection, and NCB is alleged to have enabled hackers to access the personally identifiable information of nearly 500,000 account holders in early February. Of the seven class actions being considered for consolidation, only one other one, Palmer v. NCB (docket 2:23-cv-01315), lists BofA and NCB as co-defendents. The rest name NCB as the sole defendants. All seven cases are assigned to U.S. District Judge Kai Scott for Eastern Pennsylvania.
