Financial institutions like Gregory Burrell Chapter 13 Trustee are prime targets because of the direct access their records provide to victims' assets. According to a MA state filing, Gregory Burrell Chapter 13 Trustee experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing financial account information and payment data. This case remains active and individuals are still being identified.
Banks and financial institutions hold the keys to their customers' financial lives, making them perpetual high-value targets for organized cybercriminals. The data that Gregory Burrell Chapter 13 Trustee stored — account numbers, routing information, and identification records — provides everything needed to initiate unauthorized transfers, open fraudulent accounts, or take over existing credit lines.
Gregory Burrell Chapter 13 Trustee appears to be a specialized legal and financial entity responsible for administering Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, managing debtor repayment plans, and overseeing financial assets within the legal system. In the regular course of business, organizations of this type collect and store highly sensitive personal and financial data, including debtor names, Social Security numbers, banking details, wage information, and detailed case or matter files. This security incident was officially reported to the Massachusetts Attorney General in 2026. If you received a data breach notification letter from the trustee's office, it means your personal information may have been compromised in the incident. This page provides an overview of the event and the specific categories of data potentially exposed.

Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.
You may have been affected by the Gregory Burrell Chapter 13 Trustee data breach if:
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.
Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.
Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.
Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.
Applicable State Law
This breach was reported under the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00), which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.
No. Under Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.
Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.
State statutes of limitations for data breach claims typically run 2–4 years from the date of the breach or its discovery. Because this breach was recently disclosed, the window is open — but acting early preserves your options and strengthens the case.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Gregory Burrell Chapter 13 Trustee does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Gregory Burrell Chapter 13 Trustee during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
