Update from the President of TCA
Good morning everyone! I hope you had a fantastic and safe Fourth of July weekend! We had another family over and enjoyed a very American day of pool time, burgers, sparklers and fireworks. It was a great and safe evening! Most importantly no one was burned or injured in any way. A great time with friends and family! I hope you got a chance to enjoy the holiday as well!
On the work front, we were notified over the weekend about a rather large settlement that we didn’t report on and claims opened and closed without a mention on Top Class Actions. We actually reported on the class action when it was filed but weren’t aware of the settlement. That’s a big problem we’re trying to work through with the courts and settlement administrator. We only get paid to list about 5% of the settlements we report on. The rest we post for free to help our viewers. If more law firms pushed to have their class action settlements published on Top Class Actions you wouldn’t miss them! We can only list them if we know about them and when we’re included in the advertising plan we’re notified BEFORE the settlements go online and have all of the details ready for you to submit your claims on day one. We’re working hard with every settlement administrator so they at least send us an email when a settlement opens up for claims but they’re restricted by the court order. They can only advertise with who they are approved to do so with. If we’re not on the list they typically aren’t comfortable even emailing us a heads up. It’s an issue we’re trying to work through! Please know that we do everything we can to report on every consumer related class action settlement and we’ll continue to do so. OK, on to the lawsuit and settlement updates!
