Consumers who received a notice from Progressive Leasing that their private information may have been involved in a data breach around September 11, 2023, may be eligible to submit a claim for up to $5,000 and credit monitoring from a class action settlement. The cybersecurity incident affected an estimated 216,000 Progressive Leasing current and former customers.

Prog Leasing LLC has agreed to pay $3.25 million to settle a class action lawsuit. The class action alleged that a third party gained unauthorized access to certain Progressive Leasing systems, potentially exposing the personal information of customers.
