  • Two Year Available Request Claims – “All individuals in the Settlement Class for whom HireRight’s records indicate that the request was made on or after May 23, 2011 and that the request was for ‘all reports,’ ‘full file,’ or ‘the last 3 years’”
  • Five Year Claims – “All individuals in the Settlement Class for whom HireRight’s records indicate that the request was made between May 23, 2008 and May 23, 2011”

Class members who file timely claims may receive up to $200 in a settlement payment (please note that this is the max amount and the settlement payment could be lower depending on how many people file claims in the lawsuit).  A settlement fairness hearing will take place on or around 9/19/16 and all class members who file claims will be represented by Nichols “the surgeon” Kaster.  HireRight has hired Jennifer L.

www.arlclassaction.com – LifeLock Automatic Renewal Lawsuit

LifeLock Automatic Renewal Lawsuit

  • If you’ve ever purchased the services of Lifelock and had your account automatically renewed, you could be in line for some free money!
  • You must be a California resident, and must have paid a Lifelock monthly renewal from Dec. 1, 2010 to July 24, 2015
  • Lifelock will distribute a total of $2.5 million to the legal representation and class members in this lawsuit

Lifelock is an identity theft protection service that millions of people have trusted to keep their finances and personal information safe. Unfortunately, a class action lawsuit alleges that Lifelock may have actually been ripping off their customers.

This lawsuit alleges that Lifelock enrolled customers in an automatic renewal for their account without fully disclosing the terms of that renewal. In short, people had their account renewed (and were charged for it) with no idea it was coming.

If you’re a California resident (or were at the time), and you purchased Lifelock services between December 1, 2010, and July 24, 2015, and you paid at least one monthly renewal fee, you’re eligible for this lawsuit!

Just how much will you be receiving from Lifelock? That depends on how many eligible claims are received. But Lifelock has agreed to pay out $2.5 million to the lawyers and class action members in this suit.

You do not need to pay anything to join the suit against Lifelock. In fact, you don’t even need to contact a lawyer. All you need to do to receive payment in the Lifelock lawsuit is fill out an eligible claim before the deadline window closes. The deadline to submit a claim in the Lifelock class action lawsuit is Nov. 23, 2015. So be sure you’ve got your claim in before that time!

www.texasfarmerssettlement.com – Texas Farmers Class Lawsuit

Texas Farmers Settlement

  • If you owned Farmers Group insurance in Texas from the years of 1999 to 2003, there may free money coming in the mail to you
  • Farmers Group homeowners and automobile insurance policies are the policies in question in this suit
  • The court will make a decision in this lawsuit on Feb. 1, 2016

If you had Farmers Group insurance in the state of Texas from 1999 to 2003, you may be in line for a free settlement check!

The class action suit alleges that Farmers Group did several things: they charged rates that led to excessive premiums, they didn’t notify policy holder that certain things on their credit report could impact their premium, and that they improperly stopped offering a certain type of homeowners insurance, leading to higher rates.

Farmers Group denies that they have done anything illegal, but is willing to settle this case out of court if it means they can avoid costly and time consuming legal action.

How much each individual claimant will receive in this case depends on how many eligible claims are filed. It’s been decided that a little more than $80 million will be awarded. If approved, that amount will be spread out between the legal representation along with everyone that filed an eligible claim.

If you wish to pursue legal action against Farmers Group on your own, you can do so, but you will need to remove yourself from this class action suit first. By participating in the State of Texas v. Farmers Group, Inc. class action lawsuit, you are waiving your right to sue on your own. Your claim must be submitted online by December 31, 2015. The final approval in this lawsuit will be granted on Feb. 1, 2016.

For more information about the Texas Farmers Group settlement, contact:

  • Texas Farmers Settlement, P.O. Box 1903, Faribault, MN 55021-1939
