A man who twice bought shoes at the Payless store in Natick is suing the chain for allegedly violating a state law that prohibits companies from requiring address information for credit-card purchases.
In his lawsuit, filed this week in US District Court in Boston, Jeffrey Scolnick is seeking to become lead plaintiff in a class action he says could result in more than a $5-million payout by Payless. He alleges Payless used his Zip code, which clerks required him to provide, to ferret out his mailing address and begin bombarding him with junk mail that he never asked for.
