Are you a Chase bank account holder? Do you know about the Chase Overdraft Fee Class Action Lawsuit Settlement? J.P. Morgan Chase charged debit cards overdraft fees to its deposit accounts by managing the posting order of the transactions. The bank charged the fees by allowing its customers for the purchase to go through in place of refusing the transactions when there were not sufficient funds to cover it. Chase also charged extra overdraft fees by processing the transactions in the order of the highest to the lowest instead in the order that they were conducted. So, the Chase Overdraft Fee Class Action Lawsuit Settlement has been taken in In re: Checking Account Overdraft Litigation and J.P. Morgan Chase have decided to pay a $100 million settlement to its credit card customers.
Do you know about the overdraft fees? Overdraft fees are the fees, charged by bank when you use your debit card, and you do not have enough money to pay for whatever you are buying. You may be qualified to get some compensation from the Chase Overdraft Fee Class Action Lawsuit Settlement at www.ChaseOverdraftSettlement.com, if you are a Chase bank’s deposit account holder and you had a Chase debit card from January 1, 2003 to March 29, 2010 as well as you were charged overdraft fees plus if you have had charged over one overdraft fee in one day. If you were holders of certain consumer deposit accounts with Bank One (acquired by Chase in 2004), then you will be also eligible to get Settlement Fund payments.
Chase also got deposit accounts of Bank of New York in 2006, and Washington Mutual Bank in September 2008, so if any overdraft fees are charged to those accounts after they become Chase-owned accounts, then this Settlement applies to those accounts. If you had paid overdraft fees as a consequence of Chase posting debit card transactions in order from highest to lowest dollar amount between January 1, 2003 and March 29, 2010, then you will be also eligible to get payments by this Settlement.

Ok, it's may 16th, I still have not received a check or information from this settlement. I know I will not get back the money that was removed from my account, but tell a person something.
ReplyDeleteI recently have been looking into companies that will buy settlements. It's a super confusing topic, but a lot of the online blogs have been helpful, at least. I'm really interested in hearing what other people's experiences have been when it comes to annuity and settlements.
