Case Name
Steven Scharfstein v. BP West Coast Products LLC, Case No. 1112-17046, in the Circuit Court for the State of Oregon, Multnomah County.
Case Summary
Steven Scharfstein, an Oregon consumer, filed a class action lawsuit against BP in 2011, accusing the company of improperly applying fees on debit card transactions without posting adequate signs to warn customers of the extra charges. He alleged this practice violates Oregon law. BP denied the allegations and the class action lawsuit went to trial in January.
On Jan. 31, 2014, a Multnomah County jury agreed with Scharfstein, ruling that BP recklessly violated the state’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act by failing to notify customers on street signs and gas pumps that they would be charged an extra 35 cents if they paid with a debit card. Class Members may be entitled to receive up to $200 in statutory damages.

Why do we not get any info from anyone?
Good question! Its been years and I have updated my one move and even written to them, was told on list, nothing yet, seems as if we may slip thru the cracks or get the shaft. Its a head shaker. Seems as if some of the attorneys have been paid, and let’s not forget, they’ve had a hearing to allocate unclaimed funds. Seems as if this is some scam by the legals. $$$
Any updates? Been 4 years
When will we be compensated.
Able to only use it as a credit card!
Yes but when only able to se it as a credit card is a different story.
