Title: Class action lawsuits
Post by: dreamyxo on July 28, 2019, 09:02:04 pm
Have you ever been gotten money from one?  The post about the Equifax settlement reminded me. I filed my claim the other day.  A couple of times I was sent info about some class action lawsuits involving different products and I've filed claims and gotten money.  It's not much but it's enough for gas money.  Sometimes it takes a while to get a check like six months or more.

Yes, I have.  I join all that I am eligible for.  The most I have gotten was $825 from a company that placed tracking on my computer.

I have received a few. The amounts were small. The highest I think was $100.

If YOU were not effected by this then WHY do you think you deserve anything.  It is not a maybe I was maybe I wasn't thing.  YOU KNOW if you were effected.  Did somebody steal your info?  Are you a victim of identity theft because of THIS breech?  If not then you won't get anything.

I have never filed one. I have heard that so many people file that you don't get much of anything anyway.

I joined two of them in the past and I think both times I received about $25 dollars. Even though the payment isn't much, it is a good feeling when you know the company had to admit to wrongdoing. So many of them get away with it.

But the question is were you really effected by the product or do you just join every class action lawsuit out there trying to get a pay out?

lol I forgot about I think a $25 or so gift card I got for a retail place I worked.  I did not have to "join" anything.  They contacted me and said something about where they asked questions in the interview process they were not legally allowed to ask and somebody cried and more joined the process so then everyone hired during that time got a gift card.  I do not remember anything being asked that I thought was inappropriate.  It was part of the written hiring process so every one was asked that was hired during that time frame.

What may be years?  The pay out will be with in a few months.  Once it gets to this point.  Unless the company is appealing the law suit.  In this case there isn't much they can say because the info was compromised of millions of people.  They can't deny it.  And if they were secure it could not have happened.
