Got a notice from Uni-Select? Here’s what to do.
Uni-Select told the Maryland Attorney General that people’s information was exposed. If you got a letter, work through the steps below.
Your checklist
- 1
Keep the letter
Save the notice from Uni-Select and its envelope. The date you were told can matter for legal deadlines.
- 2
Freeze your credit
The filing does not list what was taken, so play it safe. A free freeze at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion stops new accounts being opened in your name.
- 3
Change reused passwords

Uni-Select appears to be a large-scale distributor of automotive parts, paint, and related supplies, operating primarily within the automotive aftermarket industry. As a commercial entity managing complex supply chains and employee workforces, the company typically collects and stores sensitive personal information, including employee payroll data, tax identification numbers, and customer account details. In 2025, Uni-Select officially reported a data security incident to the Maryland Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized access to their systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the company, it indicates that your personal information was likely contained within the compromised files. This notice is intended to inform you of the event and provide guidance on the steps you should take to protect your identity and financial security.
Uni-Select data breach questions
- Is the Uni-Select data breach letter legit or a scam?
- A notice from Uni-Select in the mail matches the breach Uni-Select reported to the Maryland Attorney General on March 18, 2025. Check that the company name and dates in your letter match that filing. A real notice of data security incident won't ask for your password, Social Security number or a payment — if it does, contact Uni-Select through a phone number or website you find yourself.
- Did Uni-Select offer free credit monitoring?
- Any free monitoring Uni-Select is offering will be described in the notice you received, along with an activation code and a sign-up deadline. Using the free service won't stop you from joining a lawsuit or settlement later.
- Is there a Uni-Select data breach class action lawsuit?
- Law firms often open an investigation after a breach notice like this one, and a class action lawsuit may follow. This page doesn't confirm that a lawsuit has been filed against Uni-Select. You usually don't have to join a class action to be included — if a settlement is reached, class members are notified and can file a claim.
- What should I do after getting the Uni-Select data breach notice?
- Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
- Do I need a Uni-Select data breach lawyer or attorney?
- An attorney can read your notice and tell you whether a claim makes sense. A case review here is free, and data breach cases are usually handled on contingency, so there is no upfront cost.
- Can I sue Uni-Select over the data breach?
- It depends on what was exposed, the law in Maryland and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
- How much could a Uni-Select data breach settlement or claim be worth?
- There is no set amount, and no Uni-Select settlement is confirmed here. In past data breach settlements, payments depended on what data was exposed and on documented losses — fraud, out-of-pocket costs and time spent dealing with the breach. Keep receipts and records; they're what damages claims are built on.
