Class action status
No class action has been filed of public record against Arkansas Primary Care Clinic. Federman & Sherwood has announced an investigation, which is a precursor step that may or may not lead to a filed complaint depending on the underlying facts and willing plaintiffs.
What to do if you may be affected
- Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. With Social Security numbers in the exposed data set, this is the single highest-leverage step against new-account identity theft. It is free and takes about ten minutes per bureau.
- Enroll in the credit-monitoring offer if your notification letter includes one. Use the enrollment code in your letter before the stated deadline.
- Watch your health-insurance Explanation of Benefits statements for services you did not receive. Medical-identity theft can take months to surface.
- File an IRS Identity Protection PIN request at IRS.gov if your SSN was exposed. This blocks fraudulent tax-return filings using your number.
- Keep your notification letter. You may need it for a future class-action claim form or for an IRS or insurance dispute.
