Bank of America agreed to a $500,000 class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it violated Florida law by sending late-night debt-collection communications to account holders.
The Bank of America settlement benefits Florida residents who received communications from Bank of America between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. in their local time zone regarding their consumer accounts since April 22, 2020.
Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim that Bank of America sent late-night consumer account communications between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. These communications allegedly violated Florida’s Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA).
Bank of America is a national financial institution with locations around the country.
Bank of America hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $500,000 settlement to resolve the FCCPA class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the Bank of America settlement, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund. Exact payments will vary depending on the number of submitted claims, but class members may receive up to $500 from the settlement.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 12, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the Bank of America settlement is scheduled for Jan. 11, 2024.
To receive a payment, class members in the Bank of America settlement must submit a valid claim form by Jan. 26, 2024.

This lawsuit is only for Florida residents.
Not sure if i qualify i have had dealing with Bank of America on 3 different occasions , if they ever call me i just hang up . i had a balance due with them that was paid in full when we sold our home then we moved and my husband had passed away they came at me again and said you pay now or set up arrangement or we take your house i couldn’t find any reciepts etc right then to prove it was already paid they scared me and threatened me to where i went out and borrowed money and paid it again then couple few years down the road they contacted me again trying to do the same thing and i said hell no you are not going to get another dime out of me and hung up. I do not and will not deal with anyone on the phone again i have proof now that i did pay it in full the 2nd time when i paid it so they got me twice and my phone never stopped.
Pero como es posible que si usted estaba segura la primera k habÃa pagado , lo vuelve a pagar bajo amenaza? Señora aquà en EEUU y en cualquier paÃs hay leyes y abogados, no importa que usted dice no tener recibo para demostrar, existen otras pruebas que quedan guardada en Ãnternet , usted debió nombrar a un abogado antes de volver a pagar, hay que informarse primero antes de complscer a su banco porque no le está haciendo favores , los bancos viven de nosotros . Saludos
