Chase Bank has agreed to pay $11.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the bank harmed credit card accountholders’ credit scores and even required them to pay on debts that were discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The Chase credit card class action lawsuit alleged that the debts on Class Members’ accounts that were discharged in bankruptcy were sold to third parties, known as debt buyers; however, Chase failed to update accountholders’ credit reports. Instead, the credit reports reflected that the debts were sold or charged off.
The class action lawsuit claimed that Chase’s failure to update these credit card accounts reflected negatively on Class Members’ credit scores. Further, some Class Members, concerned about the affects of the allegedly falsely reported debt on their credit score, continued to pay on debts that had been discharged in bankruptcy.
Chase Bank says it did not attempt to collect on discharged debts, but has agreed to pay $11.5 million to end the class action lawsuit.
Class Members may be entitled to a full refund of any amount they paid on a Chase Bank credit card debt that was discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, along with a portion of the settlement award.
The deadline to opt out of the class action settlement agreement is July 18, 2018.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members include “all individuals (i) who maintained a Credit Card Account with CBUSA; (ii) whose account CBUSA charged off and then sold to a Debt Buyer on or after January 1, 2008, and (iii) who post-sale sought and obtained a discharge of the debt as a result of his/her bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, through and including the date of the Bankruptcy Court’s preliminary approval of the Settlement.”
Potential Award
A full refund of the amount paid on an affected Chase Bank credit card account, along with a share of the settlement award.

I spoke to Robert Mitchell on March 22, and He told me the checks will
be sent out on March 28, 2019
Anyone get a check yet?
Here we are in March. Where’s the cheddar folks? 11.5 ???
Not happening my friend, they keep prolonging it and once they past the deadline they will return the money back to Chase. Haynes is the most crooked company in the US they get a fee from Chase to make sure the money goes back to Chase. Call your Senators or State representatives and put in a complaint.
Has anyone called again? Every time I call I get voicemail
Spoke w/Annabelle today and she stated that Distribution checks are being processed and should be going out any day. Hopefully we have them by the end of March.
Thanks for the update
Anyone receive funds yet?
No, nothing yet! Has anyone called Robert Mitchell again find out when?
I did but no answer
Any updates?
Class counsel filed a notice with the court on 2/20/19 stating the pro rata payments of $438.75 will go out to 24,499 class members. The notice does not state how quickly claims will be paid, but hopefully soon!
Thanks for sharing this information
Any idea when we will receive payment?
Thank you for your research. At least we have some Info. / Amt.
Can you confirm payments are being mailed out?
Has anyone receive payment?
Nope
I don’t think we will see anything until the end of this month and I don’t think we’re going to get very much at all.
I just called he doesn’t know when the final distribution payments will go out he said soon and that they are being reviewed now
Thank you for sharing this information because I was very frustrated. I tried calling the number but couldn’t get through, just voicemail
I think you all for sharing, I have been waiting for my payment he told me in January I can use it. Do anyone know how much the payment is?
I contact the Administrator and they advised me that Checks would be mailed January 31st.
Did they say how much went out on the 31st?

I advise everyone who is concerned about their refund to write your Congress Representative or Senator. Rust Consulting Inc. is hired by Chase/Court to distribute the money and the longer they keep the money without disbursing the better chance CHASE will have of not paying the full settlement.
Anyone receive payments yet?
No nothing yet you know now there going to tell us sometime in February lol there going to drag it out as long as possible
Has anyone called again? See what date the final payments are going out?
I lost my card
I contacted Robert Mitchell at 612-359-2068.
He told me that they haven’t mailed out any check yet. maybe it might be sometime this month.
Has anyone received a check yet? I thought we would receive 60days after it finalized that would have been December
No I haven’t
Spoke with someone on January 16, he said checks would be out end of January.
Who can we contact to see if we are getting a check?
