Intuit QuickBooks Data Destruction
Class Action Lawsuit
  
On December 21, 2007, three businesses filed a class action lawsuit against Intuit for sending faulty software code on December 15, 2007, that has caused the wholesale deletion of their QuickBooks data and other files.
The lawsuit, entitled Create-A-Card v. Intuit, was filed in federal court in San Francisco. The plaintiffs are businesses located in California, New York and Florida that use QuickBooks Pro for their accounting and other data storage purposes. Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, and Moscone, Emblidge & Quadra, LLP, serve as counsel for plaintiffs.
Juan Loredo, owner of plaintiff AGCJ, Inc., operates a bar called the Vinyl Room in Burlingame, California. On Sunday, December 16, 2007, he opened his QuickBooks program and received the software update from Intuit. “Intuit has caused every computer user’s worst nightmare,” stated Mr. Loredo. “My company lost its invoicing, sales reports, inventories, day to day working files, pictures, and other files containing financial information. The files lost represent hundreds of hours of work.”
The proposed class consists of all individuals and entities whose files or data became inaccessible or were damaged, corrupted, or lost, whether temporarily or permanently, as a result of opening QuickBooks and receiving Intuit's December 2007 faulty code.
The complaint asserts claims of negligence, strict products liability, trespass to chattels, breach of implied warranty and unfair business practices. Plaintiffs seek for themselves and all class members compensatory and other damages, including compensation for lost data as well as the time and money spent attempting to recover the lost data.
