This Settlement Website is to tell you about the Settlement of two class action lawsuits, In re Lakeview Loan Servicing Data Breach Litigation, pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and Lazarus v. Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC, pending in the California Superior Court for Sacramento County. A proposed Settlement has been reached in the lawsuits involving Bayview Asset Management, LLC, Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC, Pingora Loan Servicing, LLC, and Community Loan Servicing, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”) relating to the alleged unauthorized access to certain files stored on Defendants’ systems, which may have included personal information (the “Incident”). If you were sent a Notice, it is because you may be a member of the group of people who received notice of the Incident, called the “Settlement Class.” This Settlement Website gives you a summary of the terms of the proposed Settlement Agreement, explains what rights Settlement Class Members have, and helps Settlement Class Members make informed decisions about what action to take.
If you are a Settlement Class Member, you have several options available to you:

Your deadline to object or opt out: June 11, 2026
Your deadline to submit a Claim Form: June 22, 2026
Final Fairness Hearing: July 2, 2026
This lawsuit concerns the alleged unauthorized access to certain files stored on Defendants’ systems, which may have included personal information. Defendants deny all claims alleged against them and deny all charges of wrongdoing or liability. The Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that Defendants have violated any laws, but rather the resolution of disputed claims.
In a class action, one or more individuals sue on behalf of other people with similar claims. These individuals are known as “Plaintiffs” or “Class Representatives.” Together, the people included in the class action are called a “Settlement Class” or “Settlement Class members.” One Court resolves the lawsuit for all Settlement Class members, except for those who opt out of the Settlement.
The Court did not decide in favor of Plaintiffs or Defendants. Plaintiffs and Defendants have agreed to a Settlement to avoid the costs and risks of a trial, and to allow the Settlement Class Members to receive benefits from the Settlement. Plaintiffs and their attorneys think the Settlement is best for all Settlement Class Members.
You have four options. You can stay in the Settlement and submit a Claim, you can Opt Out of the Settlement, you can Object to the Settlement, or you can do nothing. This chart shows the effects of each option:

The Settlement Class is defined as: All Persons residing in the United States who were sent notice from any Defendant that their personally identifiable information (“PII”) was potentially accessed during the Incident. Additionally, California Settlement Class means all Settlement Class Members who resided in California on October 11, 2021, the time of the Incident. For avoidance of doubt, all members of the California Settlement Class are also members of the Settlement Class.
Yes. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (i) Defendants and their respective officers and directors; (ii) all Settlement Class Members who timely and validly request exclusion from the Settlement Class; (iii) the Judge and/or Magistrate assigned to evaluate the fairness of this Settlement; and (iv) any other Person found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be guilty under criminal law of initiating, causing, aiding, or abetting the Incident or who pleads nolo contendere to any such charge.

The Settlement provides for the creation of a $26,000,000 Settlement Fund to pay for: (i) Notice and Administration Expenses; (ii) Fee and Expense Award and Service Awards, as approved and awarded by the Court; (iii) documented Out-of-Pocket Loss Payments; (iv) Pro Rata Cash Payments; and (v) California Pro Rata Cash Payments. The Settlement benefits are summarized below.
Settlement Class Members may submit Claims for compensation for Out-of-Pocket Losses, and either a pro rata payment or a two-times pro rata payment for California Settlement Class Members in recognition of the protections afforded to California residents by the California Consumer Privacy Act.
Compensation for Out-of-Pocket Losses. Participating Settlement Class Members can claim up to a total of $5,000 per Person for out-of-pocket losses incurred as a result of the Incident, including, without limitation: (i) costs, expenses, losses, or charges incurred as a result of identity theft or identity fraud or other misuse of a Settlement Class Member’s PII after October 11, 2021; (ii) costs incurred on or after October 11, 2021, associated with accessing or freezing/unfreezing credit reports with any credit reporting agency; (iii) miscellaneous expenses such as notary, postage, copying, mileage, and other charges; and (iv) charges for credit monitoring or other mitigative expenditures incurred on or after October 11, 2021, through March 23, 2026. Out-of-Pocket Loss Payment Claims are subject to pro rata reduction if all valid Out-of-Pocket Loss Payment Claims exceed $5,000,000.
Settlement Class Members submitting claims for Out-of-Pocket Loss Payments must submit documentation and an attestation supporting their claims. This can include receipts or other documentation that document the costs incurred but does not include documentation that is “self-prepared” by the claimant. “Self-prepared” documents such as handwritten receipts are, by themselves, insufficient to receive reimbursement, but can be considered to add clarity or support to other submitted documentation. The attestation must state that the monetary losses are fairly traceable to the Incident and were not incurred due to some other event or reason.
Pro Rata Cash Payment. All Settlement Class Members are eligible to make a Claim for a Pro Rata Cash Payment. After payment of Notice and Administration Expenses, Service Awards, and any Fee and Expense Award from the Settlement Fund, the Pro Rata Cash Payments will evenly distribute the remaining amount of the Net Settlement Fund to each Settlement Class Member who submits a timely and Valid Claim for Out-of-Pocket Losses before calculating the single share amount for Pro Rata Cash Payments.
California Pro Rata Cash Payment. Settlement Class Members who resided in California at the time of the Incident may claim a California Pro Rata Cash Payment in recognition of their claims under the California Consumer Privacy Act instead of the Pro Rata Cash Payment. For purposes of clarity, this means that they can receive a total of two Pro Rata Cash Payment shares. To recover a California Pro Rata Cash Payment, California Settlement Class Members must verify that they resided in California at the time of the Incident (October 11, 2021) by submitting their name, address, and an attestation under penalty of perjury that they were residents of California at the time of the Incident.
Monitoring Services. Settlement Class Members may claim and enroll in up to one (1) year of Monitoring Services provided by CyEx through its Financial Shield Total product.
Unless you opt out of the Settlement, you cannot sue, continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit against Defendants about any of the legal claims this Settlement resolves. The “Mutual Releases” section of the Settlement Agreement describes the legal claims that you give up if you remain in the Settlement Class. The Settlement Agreement is available for review in the Important Documents section of this Settlement Website.

Excluding yourself from the Settlement is opting out and stating to the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement. If you Opt Out of the Settlement, you cannot object to it because the Settlement no longer affects you.
