WHAT HAPPENED?
In September 2024, 394,000 files, including customer data and their financial data, were stolen by hackers. We don't yet fully understand what happened but customers affected received a letter from Cabot Financial advising them to check their bank accounts for any illegal transactions as a result of the data breach. This means bank account details, etc. were included in the data breach.
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT ME?
If you got a letter from Cabot Financial that states your personal data or financial data was stolen then your personal data could be used for fraud, identify theft or used as part of scams (including financial scams or attempts to illegally access your bank accounts)..
WHAT DATA WAS AFFECTED?
Cabot Financial would tell you in your letter what specific data was affect but typical data affected includes name, address, email address, phone number, bank details, loan details, etc. that was illegally accessed, copied and stolen by hackers.
AM I ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION?
If you got the letter from Cabot Financial and you are genuinely angry, annoyed, upset, distressed or worried about the data breach, their lack of security, the loss of control of your data or the risk of your data being used for fraud, identity theft or part of a scam, or your bank account being illegally accessed, then you may be entitled to compensation under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Fill out the form above for a free consultation with no obligation to take a case. We will connect you with an experienced solicitor and barrister who deals with these cases on a 'no win - no fee' basis and you would keep 100% of any award of compensation by the Courts. .
NO WIN - NO FEE
Usually when a person wins their case they don't have to pay any legal fees. Your case will be taken on a 'no win - no fee' basis so the solicitor and barrister only get paid if you win and you keep 100% of any compensation awarded. The only thing you have to pay is the Stamp Duty which is what the Court charges to start a case (when the legal paperwork is filed with the Court office).
SHOULD I TAKE A CASE?
It’s your decision and don’t ever feel pressured to take a case.
​
However, Cabot Financial have to be held accountable to the public and to you if your personal data and financial data is now available online or on the dark web as a result of the data breach. Especially, if your personal data or financial data can be used for fraud, identify theft or used as part of a scam.
