AllTrust Data Incident Settlement: What You Need to Know
If you received a breach notification letter about the AllTrust data incident and are searching for settlement information, here's the current picture: the class action over the February 2024 AllTrust/Aspire USA data breach was settled in early 2026, with a claim deadline of March 3, 2026. This guide explains what happened in the breach, who the settlement covered, what it paid, and what your options are now.
What Happened in the AllTrust Data Breach
AllTrust is the brand under which Valsoft Corporation Inc. — a company that acquires and operates vertical market software businesses — runs its operations. The breach occurred on a non-production computer network managed by subsidiary Aspire USA, LLC:
- February 14, 2024 — AllTrust's security team detected unusual activity and halted an unauthorized file transfer in progress
- February 12–15, 2024 — the investigation determined the unauthorized actor accessed the network and extracted files during this window; it could not be determined exactly which files were taken
- Data exposed — the review confirmed that names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, potentially other government-issued ID numbers, and financial account information may have been compromised
- Regulatory reporting — the incident was reported to state attorneys general (including Maine and Texas) and to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, indicating protected health information may have been involved
The Class Action and the Settlement
- October 1, 2025 — affected individuals filed a class action lawsuit against AllTrust over the breach
- January 2026 — AllTrust agreed to a settlement providing cash payments and credit monitoring to resolve the litigation
- The settlement included a California settlement subclass for class members residing in California whose information was potentially accessed
What the Settlement Paid
Based on the settlement's published terms:
| Claim type | Payout |
|---|---|
| Documented losses (fraud, out-of-pocket costs, time spent) | Reimbursement up to a cap — total claims of up to $2,550 |
| Credit monitoring | Included as part of the settlement benefits |
| California subclass | Additional benefits for California residents identified as potentially affected |
As is standard in data breach settlements, larger payments required documentation — bank statements, receipts, credit-freeze fees, and proof of time spent resolving issues — while some benefits required no documentation.
The Claim Deadline Has Passed — What Now?
The deadline to submit claims was March 3, 2026 (online filing or postmarked claim forms to the settlement administrator in Philadelphia, PA).
If you filed a claim: payment distribution follows court approval. Check the official settlement website (alltrustdataincidentsettlement.com) or the administrator — the settlement's official notices carry the administrator's contact details — for payment status. Payments from data breach settlements typically go out several months after final approval.
If you missed the deadline: options are limited but not always zero:
- Contact the settlement administrator and ask whether late claims are accepted for good cause — most deadlines are strict, but it costs nothing to ask
- Watch for remaining benefits — credit monitoring enrollment windows and any distribution of residual funds can follow a different schedule than cash claims
- Keep your breach notification letter — if the settlement doesn't fully compensate documented losses, an individual claim may still be an option; see our guide on class action vs. individual lawsuits
Protect Yourself Going Forward
- Enroll in any credit monitoring the settlement provided, even if you missed the cash claim
- Freeze your credit at all three bureaus — free, and it doesn't affect your score
- Watch for targeted scams — breaches involving SSNs generate follow-up phishing. Real settlement administrators never ask for fees to release payment; see our guide on how to spot class action scams
FAQ
Q: I received an AllTrust breach letter but never got a settlement notice. Was I included?
A: Class membership in breach settlements is generally defined by the records affected in the incident, not by whether a specific notice reached you. Contact the settlement administrator with your details to confirm your status, and check the official settlement website's class definition.
Q: How much did the AllTrust settlement pay per person?
A: Documented-loss claims could reach up to $2,550 depending on the losses you submitted and the settlement's tiered structure. Actual individual payouts depend on claim volume and documentation.
Q: Can I still sue AllTrust over the breach?
A: If you're a class member who didn't opt out, the settlement's release likely covers your individual claims. If you opted out or were outside the class definition, consult a data breach attorney about individual options.
