A class action settlement has been reached in the Arco AmPm debit card fee class action lawsuit. According to court documents, an Oregon jury determined that BP West Coast Products LLC (or BPWCP) charged consumers more for gas than what the consumer actually pumped or that was registered at the pump’s meter. Additionally, the jury also found BPWCP did not properly disclose its prices for gas when the company charged consumers a debit card transaction fee if they used a debit card to pay for gas at Arco stations located in Oregon.
This Arco AmPm debit card class action lawsuit was originally filed by plaintiffs in December 2011 and alleged that Oregon Arco and Am-Pm mini market gas stations would charge an extra fee for debit and credit card transactions, about 35 to 45 cents per transaction. Some of the Arco and Am-Pm featured stickers at the pump informing consumers of the debit card fee, but some did not warn customers of the fee at all. According to the plaintiffs, since Arco and AmPm did not make a practice of being “clear and conspicuous” with its debit card fee notices, the companies have violated the Oregon Unlawful Trade Practices Act, among other laws.
BPWCP has denied the claims brought against them in this Arco AmPm debit card fee class action lawsuit and plans to appeal the verdict reached by the Oregon jury.

I too have not received any letter or check or any information about whats going on in this Class Action lawsuit, Its now Apr. 10th,2015. Are we going to get anything or not. Thank you.
I was one of the people who received notice of this class action suit, so needless to say I did nothing as they requested. However, it is now March 31st and I have received no more information nor money. Has anyone received a check as of now?
I too have received no more information nor money, and I would like to know if anyone received a check or information as of now?
i got a letter about this and i havent gotten any money yet:( wondering if i ever will
If you reaf it completely you would know that it says court fees or attorney fees may be taken from the $200 owed to you. They shall take no more than $40 per persons claim so you would still get $160. The longer they take to pay it you get interest
If you are a participant of this claim they will send you a letter stating you are part of the settlement. If you did not receive one you will not get paid jack crap.
I moved from vegas to Dallas. How can I change my address to receive my money
It’s an Oregon lawsuit only
I Wonder! If the Attorney’s don’t recover court costs will we be responsible for all or part?

I always purchase gas with my debit card and I always have to pay a fee to use my debit cad and this is nice to know that it was illegal because I always thought why do I have to pay to use my card, thanks.
Am pm all charge a fee. Is this class action for Oregon only?
Lee,
Did you not read that the claim is for Oregon residents only? Apparently you didn’t. You people need to read.
I live in Oregon.
