Summary
$2.25 million will resolve U.S. claims that Amazon routinely failed to give identity-theft victims records tied to fraudulent purchases made in their names.
A court filing on Monday disclosed the settlement, which follows a Federal Trade Commission investigation into whether Amazon withheld information customers were legally entitled to receive.
The case centered on Fair Credit Reporting Act requirements that companies provide records needed by victims to document and challenge identity-theft transactions.
