Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Join the Claim has seen an unprecedented surge in public interest following news of the recent Marks & Spencer (M&S) data breach.
The UK-based hub, which connects people affected by data breaches and consumer rights violations with trusted law firms, reports a sharp rise in the number of people using its eligibility checker in recent days.
“The public response has been one of the strongest we’ve seen,” said Jordan Clayton, founder of Join the Claim. “The involvement of such a well-known high street brand has brought digital privacy and consumer rights into the national spotlight.”
Join the Claim is currently in discussions with several UK law firms exploring legal routes for affected consumers. Early assessments suggest the breach could trigger one of the UK’s most significant data privacy class actions – with potential compensation claims reaching into the hundreds of millions.
While M&S has sought to downplay the severity of the breach, many customers remain understandably concerned about how their data could be misused. In response, Join the Claim is not only offering legal connections but also practical guidance to help people protect themselves from fraud, phishing scams and other risks.
“We want to give people the tools to protect themselves now – and the means to hold companies to account. We believe in clear, practical support alongside a clear legal path to justice,” Clayton added.
