Touch-Tel USA, LLC has reached a class action lawsuit settlement over claims it didn’t fully disclose fees associated with its pre-paid calling cards and debit cards. If you purchased a pre-paid calling card or debit card distributed by Touch-Tel, you may be entitled to a partial refund or free calling card from the class action settlement.

The Touch-Tel settlement will resolve a 2008 class action lawsuit (Galvez, et al. v. Touch-Tel USA) accusing the company of distributing and selling pre-paid calling cards and debit cards without fully disclosing the applicable rates, fees and charges as required by California law.

Touch-Tel denies these claims, but has agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.

Class Members of the Touch-Tel calling card settlement include anyone who purchased a pre-paid calling card or debit card in the United States between August 27, 2004 and May 20, 2013 where the service provider was Touch-Tel USA. There are hundreds of cards covered by the class action settlement.

Class Members that submit a valid Claim Form will be eligible to claim a Refund PIN or Calling Card in $2 increments, up to a maximum total amount of $20. This number is based on 40 percent of the total face value of all the calling cards you claim, with the refund amount rounded up to the nearest dollar value (i.e., in $2, $5 or $10 increments).

The only way to receive a Refund PIN or Calling Card from the Touch-Tel settlement is to submit a valid Claim Form either online at www.Touch-TelSettlement.com or mailed to the Settlement Administrator by December 7, 2013.
