Settlement Amounts

HOW DO I LEARN MY ESTIMATED SETTLEMENT AMOUNT? If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you may learn your estimated individual settlement amount, details about the records used to calculate your estimated individual settlement amount, the total payout to Class Members, and the mean and median payouts by calling the Class Administrator at 1-877-526-1011.

For an explanation of the method used for calculating your estimated individual settlement amount, and for additional information to place your estimated individual settlement amount in context, please review the Sample Calculations available at the link on the right side of the Main Page of this website.

NOTE: The method used for calculating estimated individual settlement amounts is the same method that was originally described in the Notice of Proposed Class-Action Settlement and Fairness Hearing. The Class Administrator's calculations are estimates based on information available as of June 16, 2008. These estimates are based on several assumptions that are subject to minor revision. For example, the exact amount of future settlement administration expenses, interest earned by the Settlement Fund, and taxes due on that interest, are not presently known. Additionally, estimated settlement amounts may be subject to revision if any calculation errors are discovered.

WHAT IF I BELIEVE AN ERROR HAS BEEN MADE IN CALCULATING MY ESTIMATED INDIVIDUAL SETTLEMENT AMOUNT? The deadline for claiming an error in the calculation of your settlement amount expired on July 14, 2008. Prior to that date, if you believed an error had been made in your estimated settlement amount, you were required to bring your concerns to the attention of the Class Administrator in writing, postmarked on or before July 14, 2008, at Complete Claim Solutions, LLC, P.O. Box 24786, West Palm Beach, FL 33416. Such submissions were required to state in writing the claimed error and attach any data, documents or other evidence that support the claim. The Class Administrator was required to respond to all timely submissions.

If a Class Member was not satisfied with the Class Administrator's decision and wished to submit its claim of error to the arbitration panel, the Class Member was required to notify the Class Administrator in writing at Complete Claim Solutions, LLC, P.O. Box 24786, West Palm Beach, FL 33416 within ten (10) business days of the mailing of the Class Administrator's decision. The Class Administrator was to arrange for all materials to be forwarded to the arbitration panel, which would have resolved the issues submitted.
