jaja; This is against Visa, Master Card and Discover. Sounds like the same lawsuit you are talking about.

This one seems to be about arbitration clauses and not foreign transaction fees.
I'm not spending the money before it arrives in any case.

Hi; Actually it is about foreigh transactions fees, but now in the final stages. We shall see. I agree, don't spend the money.

<<This feels strangely like Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce..

Yes, my heirs might end up owing them money.

Strangely, I looked this up this morning before checking Fodors. The "after the appeals are resolved" statement tells me to check back next year.

I am not an attorney and would appreciate a learned interpretation. I think the judge dismissed our claims on 7/22/2010, under a settlement agreement, the banks having agreed to buy out our class-action attorneys for $2,350,000.00

Thanks for the information and the address.

Poor Richard; no wonder he went mad and died.

He jumped off a cliff!!!

Hi TT,

I am not an attorney.

I read your link.

It does look to me as if the lawyers got $2.35M and the rest of us got the satisfaction of knowing that the lawyers got $2.35M.

As of 1/07/2011. From the Settlement Administrator; Quote,'The issuance of refund checks for valid, timely claims will not commence until after the appeals are resolved [in favor of the Court-approved settlement] and the Settlement Administrator has validated the claims', end of quote. I still expect a dinner for two. We shall see.

I still expect enough for a single visit to the vending machine...

If any of us gets more than $0.12, I'll be surprised.

I am sorry to say I sent an itemized claim since I still had all of my credit card statements over the years. I wasted at least 6 hours on this project thinking I would get some money out of the deal. I shouldn't have bothered.

Optino 2, took me about five minutes. Whatever the outcome, no big deal.

Still holding out hope for MY 50 cent CREDIT ...

Ha; Not me, I expect a dinner for two. [If I'm still alive.] Richard

<i>"On October 5, 2011 the Court entered an Order authorizing the Settlement Administrator to disburse the available settlement funds. The process for issuing claim payments has commenced. Please be advised that due to the large number of claimants, in excess of 10 million, printing and mailing the checks will take some time. The Settlement Administrator estimates that <b>checks will begin to be mailed in early November and will continue to be mailed until the end of the year (December 31, 2011).</b>"

"We request that you remain patient as the Settlement Administrator administers and mails checks for this enormous volume of claims."</i>

In case you didn't know, the individual claim amounts have been considerably reduced from original estimates.

Thanks for the update bluestar. At this point I was no longer expecting anything so whatever they send me will seem like found money.
