Payments from Citizens Bank Overdraft Settlement Expected Fall 2013
By Kimberly Mirando
UPDATE: Payments from the Citizens Bank overdraft class action settlement were either mailed or deposited into eligible Class Members’ accounts starting September 19.
Consumers who submitted valid claims for the $137.5 million Citizens Bank overdraft class action settlement can expect to see payments in September, according to an update on the Settlement Administrator website.
The credits are part of a class action lawsuit settlement resolving allegations that Citizens Bank reordered debit card transactions from highest to lowest dollar amount in order to rack up overdraft charges.
In March, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida extended the claims filing deadline for the class action settlement to May 6, 2013.
Distribution of settlement awards is scheduled for September 2013, but this is subject to change. Keep checking Top Class Actions for updates or visit the Settlement Administrator’s website at www.CitizensOverdraftSettlement.com. [See update here.]
The case is In re: Checking Account Overdraft Litigation, Case No. 1:09-md-02036-JLK, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

I left Charter One a few years ago. They are theives. I received a check in the mail for appox $89. No where near the amount they’ve stolen from me over the years I had an account with them.
I Susan Moran received a check, from the class action settlement case. The check#0738355 & check amount $141.90.The tracking #2112715. Date issue September 19,2013. But the check said Deposit Only. I had know way of doing that. So I did what they said, wrote a letter requesting to a replacement check to the Settlement Administrator. It’s been 4 weeks, I have not received a replacement check. Please reply!
Received my check about three weeks ago in the amount of $3.21. I’m wondering if first of all it’s a scam and second of all, IF and when I do cash it, will this so called company steal the money that I do have in my checking?
I had 3 checking acct with them. One with charterone for about 6 years and now i have two acct with them and they only gave me pennys back. This bank took more than $4000.00 in fees. Of course the lawyers made out, but the customers the ripped off. Is there any morals in the banking industry. Shame on them.
Is anyone else still waiting for a check?
I think this crazy they overdrafted me over 1000 of dollars an they gave me some punk check. They need to get it together they need togive us what we are owed. I pray God deal with them..
I received two checks for the exact same amount ($36.33) a few days apart from each other. I was concerned and inquired with my bank (NOT citizens) and they gave me a number to call to see if the second check was funded. I was afraid of depositing a dud check and get charged for it. I called the number and was told some checks were duplicate prints, and mine is one of them. How am I supposed to trust that? If I don’t cash this other check and it IS funded, where does the money go? I don’t know what to do or who to believe since I was already screwed over once by these people. Anyone else have this happen?
Could you provide the number you called so other could call to see if the checks they receive are good? Thank you
Anyone from New York still waiting for their check?
$230 recieved yesterday! :)
