American Express FX Fee Litigation Settlement Fund (CCFSettlement.com), is it legit?

[Anonymous]

There was only one winner here. The settlement was for $49,500,000. I received $8.23. The attorneys got $9,033,750 plus expenses.

So you would rather that AmEx continue its fraudulent practices? Or would you rather pay more taxes so the government can better regulate them?

I have one of the checks. It is in my late husband's name and my bank says it has to be in my name to deposit it even tho' I signed it correctly as Executrix of his estate. Where can I cash the check or get it rewritten in my name instead?

I got a check for $8.23 and so my hubby. Problem is we have never had an American Express check. I say we do not cash these checks.

Hmm...I received one in my late husband's name too and just mailed it to my bank with my signature as executor. Will post back to update whether it goes through or not!

Then please endorse them and give them to someone who can use the money.

If you ever used a credit card for an overseas purchase during the time frame in the suit you are a class member. I used a Visa in foreign ports during cruises which made me a member. This was about 10 or 12 years ago but these suits take a lot of time sometimes.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks!

I got one and researched it. This is payment from a lawsuit regarding all major credit card companies that overcharged fees from out of the country purchases. It is legitimate.

Yes, the check is legit, and you can cash it. It is not because you used your AMEX card. You got the check because (long ago) you used a Master Card, Visa, or other card to make a foreign purchase. It was ruled that American Express had done something illegal - price fixing, the best I can figure - causing OTHER card holders to pay too much in their foreign foreign purchases.

Google American Express litigation settlement and read the FAQs. Cash the check.

I, too, received a check of $8.23 recently, following one for $18.04 in November 2011. Over five years ago, in November 2007, I received paperwork informing me of eligibility to "receive a Court-approved refund of fees charged to your eligible cards, which are Visa, MasterCard, and/or Diners Club credit, charge, and/or debit/ATM cards." Of the three options given, I chose #1, an "Easy Refund of $25." Refund requests (i.e., claims) were due May 30, 2008. I filed mine online, instead of through the mail. Many of you probably did the same, making it easily forgettable. In any event, we all had to file a claim.
