On October 25, 2025, 700Credit, LLC experienced a data breach that may have exposed sensitive personal information belonging to individuals who recently bought or leased a vehicle and had a credit check performed. Notification letters were sent out to affected individuals by mail.
700Credit, LLC has disclosed that over 5.8 million individuals, and more specifically 19,225 Maine residents, were affected by the breach. The compromised information may include your name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number.
The recent 700Credit, LLC data breach is a serious matter that could inflict far-reaching consequences for those affected. The exposure of personally identifiable information, especially names and Social Security numbers, poses a significant risk of identity theft, such as criminals opening financial accounts, taking out loans, filing fraudulent tax returns, and obtaining government services in the victim’s name. Personally identifiable information can also be exposed on the Dark Web, which poses a serious threat toward the privacy and safety of many individuals. According to a recent FTC survey, the total cost of identity theft is nearly $50 billion per year, with victims losing an average of nearly $5,000 from the misuse of their personal and financial information. The exposure of protected medical information can pose an even greater danger of identity theft—such as obtaining medical services in the victim’s name, which will be charged to the victim.
Individuals who recently bought tor leased a vehicle and had a credit check performed, with 700Credit, LLC, may face an increased risk of fraud and identity theft and are advised to closely monitor their financial accounts and personal information for any suspicious activity. You could be at risk of incurring additional out-of-pocket costs for purchasing credit monitoring services, credit freezes, credit reports, or other protective measures to deter and detect identity theft.
