Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the NH Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on April 25, 2025.
From the AG filing description
Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC operates as a critical human resources and payroll administration provider, delivering comprehensive workforce management, benefits administration, tax processing, and payroll services to businesses and their employees. Because of the core nature of its operations, the company functions as a central repository for vast quantities of highly sensitive, confidential information. Employers entrust Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC with the exhaustive personal and financial records of their entire workforce in order to facilitate direct deposits, calculate and withhold taxes, manage retirement accounts, and process employee onboarding. This makes the organization a high-value target for malicious actors seeking to exploit centralized corporate data. In 2025, a significant data security incident involving Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC was formally reported to the New Hampshire Attorney General's office. While the precise vector of the intrusion continues to be evaluated through ongoing forensic investigations, incidents affecting payroll and human resources processing companies typically stem from sophisticated cyberattacks, such as unauthorized network intrusions, ransomware deployments, or third-party vendor compromises. In the payroll industry, a single network vulnerability can provide cybercriminals with backdoor access to deep databases containing interconnected employee and employer records across numerous client organizations simultaneously. The exposure resulting from the Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC breach implicates a devastating array of sensitive personal identifying information and financial credentials. The compromise of core identifiers such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth, full names, and residential addresses immediately exposes victims to heightened risks of identity theft and synthetic fraud. Furthermore, because this is a payroll processor, the exposed data often includes granular wage and compensation figures, tax withholding records, and direct deposit banking details. The theft of banking routing and account numbers creates an immediate danger of unauthorized financial account takeover, fraudulent wire transfers, and illicit withdrawals, while compromised tax and income data lays the groundwork for fraudulent tax return filings and government benefit scams. As a custodian of sensitive consumer and employee information, Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC was bound by rigorous legal obligations under state and federal data protection frameworks, including the Federal Trade Commission Act and applicable state security laws. These legal standards mandate the implementation of robust administrative, physical, and technical safeguards—such as multi-factor authentication, end-to-end data encryption, rigorous network segmentation, and continuous vulnerability monitoring—to prevent unauthorized access. The occurrence of a data breach of this magnitude serves as a strong indicator that the company may have failed to adhere to these foundational industry standards, leaving its digital infrastructure vulnerable to exploitation and breaching the implicit trust placed in them by employers and workers. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC is a formal admission by the company that your confidential records were compromised due to inadequate security measures. Under the law, this notification establishes your legal standing to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at securing accountability and financial compensation for the risks and disruptions you now face. Crucially, affected individuals are not required to prove immediate out-of-pocket financial loss to join a class action; the increased, long-term risk of identity theft and the burden of monitoring your credit are recognized harms in their own right. Our firm investigates these cases on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay absolutely nothing out of pocket, and we only recover fees if we successfully secure a recovery on your behalf.
Based on the data types reported in this filing:
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.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
Phone numbers exposed in breaches are used for SIM swapping attacks — hijacking your number to bypass two-factor authentication on financial accounts.
You may have been affected by the Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC 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.
Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.
Applicable State Law
This breach was reported under the New Hampshire data breach notification law, which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.
No. Under New Hampshire data breach notification law 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.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC 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 Complete Payroll Solutions, LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
