The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC) who purchased shares between February 28, 2015 and April 25, 2018. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.
In particular, the LC lawsuit alleges that (1) LendingClub falsely promised consumers they would receive a loan with "no hidden fees"; (2) LendingClub's privacy policy did not comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; (3) consequently, the foregoing conduct would subject LendingClub's business practices to heightened regulatory scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"); and (4) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On April 25, 2018, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a press release announcing allegations that LendingClub violated the FTC Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act by falsely promising consumers they would receive a loan without hidden fees and failing to provide customers with a clear and conspicuous privacy notice.
Shareholders have until July 2, 2018 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.
