According to a IN state filing, Michigan Chloride Sales, Realty, & Investment Group LLC experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing Social Security Numbers and financial account data. This breach was recently disclosed and the window for legal action is open now.
Banks and financial institutions hold the keys to their customers' financial lives, making them perpetual high-value targets for organized cybercriminals. The data that Michigan Chloride Sales, Realty, & Investment Group LLC stored — account numbers, routing information, and identification records — provides everything needed to initiate unauthorized transfers, open fraudulent accounts, or take over existing credit lines.
This filing does not specify data types. Based on Michigan Chloride Sales, Realty, & Investment Group LLC's industry:
Exposed bank and card information allows direct account draining, unauthorized purchases, and fraudulent wire transfers. Act immediately if you notice unfamiliar charges.
Exposed Social Security Numbers can be used to open fraudulent credit accounts, file false tax returns, and commit federal benefits fraud — often for years before detection.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.
Your email being connected to this breach makes you a high-value phishing target. Watch for impersonation attempts referencing the company or the breach.

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.
Several state data breach laws provide for statutory minimum damages — fixed amounts recoverable per affected individual regardless of actual loss. These provisions exist specifically to make legal action viable for victims who have not yet experienced direct harm.
Applicable State Law
This breach was reported under the Indiana data breach notification law, which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.
No. Under Indiana 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.
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 Michigan Chloride Sales, Realty, & Investment Group 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 Michigan Chloride Sales, Realty, & Investment Group LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter.
