What Is This Settlement About?

A federal court has granted preliminary approval to a proposed class action settlement in In re Motility Data Breach Litigation, Case No. 3:25-cv-00330, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Western Division at Dayton. The settlement creates a $4,949,500 fund to resolve claims arising from a data incident that allegedly affected Motility Software Solutions, Inc., a dealer management software company.

According to the complaint, Motility discovered suspicious activity on August 19, 2025, took the impacted server offline, and began an investigation with cybersecurity experts. The complaint alleges that cybercriminals accessed personal information including names, birthdates, driver's license numbers, and Social Security numbers, and that consumers may also have provided contact, financial, and insurance information through dealer records. The preliminary approval order states the settlement class consists of 760,797 settlement class members.

Preliminary approval does not mean the court found Motility liable. The settlement resolves the claims for settlement purposes only, and Motility has not admitted wrongdoing.

Is There a Motility Settlement Claim Form Yet?

Yes. The court-approved official settlement website is now live, and class members can file a claim online or download a claim form to complete and mail. The claim deadline is August 7, 2026. Class members should use the official settlement website or their mailed settlement notice to confirm eligibility, the information required, and which payment option to request.

Who Qualifies?

The preliminary approval order conditionally certifies a settlement class of all individuals residing in the United States who were impacted by the data incident. The order excludes Motility officers and directors, governmental entities, the judge assigned to the action, the judge's immediate family, court staff, and any settlement class member who timely and properly opts out of the settlement.

People impacted by the incident generally received a mailed or emailed notice. If you believe you were affected but did not keep your notice, the official settlement website explains how to confirm your eligibility and request the information needed to file.

How Much Can You Get?

Eligible class members can choose between two cash options, and the settlement also offers credit monitoring:

Estimated $75 alternate cash payment with no documentation of losses required.
Up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses fairly traceable to the data incident.
Two years of credit monitoring.

The $75 cash payment is described as estimated because final amounts can depend on the number of valid claims, settlement administration costs, court-approved deductions, and the settlement terms. Class members choosing the documented-loss option should expect to provide records showing eligible losses connected to the incident, because administrators commonly review documentation before approving higher-tier data breach claims.

How to File a Claim

Class members can file online or by mail through the official settlement website. If you received a Postcard Notice indicating you are part of the settlement class, it carries a 10-character alphanumeric Unique ID and a 4-digit PIN, and the claim form asks for both to verify membership. Choose the estimated $75 cash payment or the up to $5,000 documented-loss option, and submit any required documentation by the deadline. If you did not receive a Postcard Notice or have lost yours, contact the settlement administrator through the official settlement website to request help.

What Is the Claim Deadline?

The claim deadline is August 7, 2026. The court has scheduled a final approval hearing for August 14, 2026, where it will decide whether to grant final approval and whether to award requested attorneys' fees, expenses, and service awards. Class members who want payment generally must submit a valid claim by the deadline; people who do nothing may receive no payment and may still be bound by the settlement if the court grants final approval.
