Hagardt v. LendingTree, Inc.

What this case is about

Consumers are suing LendingTree, an online lending marketplace, alleging that the company improperly collected, shared, or misused their personal and financial information without adequate consent or disclosure. The plaintiffs claim that when users submitted sensitive data through LendingTree's platform — such as income, credit history, and contact details — the company shared that information with third parties in ways that consumers did not expect or agree to. The proposed class is expected to include individuals across the United States who submitted personal and financial information through LendingTree's website or app and whose data was allegedly handled in an unauthorized or undisclosed manner. The lawsuit seeks compensation and changes to how LendingTree handles consumer data going forward.
