This is what settlement administrators are doing wheather is Rust, BMC,BMB, KCC etc They all do not answer even paper claims for people on their list meaning they will throw your claim un acceptable file.Only because you have filed few different claims BUT thats against law, AN american can file as many claims as they want if they have been damaged by products they used or bought. SOME ATTORNEYS NEED to get TOGETHER and sue these administrators for being unloyal to people UNLESS if ATTORNEYS are behind this and doing this. DOESNT matter you sent receipts or faxed or emailed or electronic claim or paper claim once they have your name on list..We think they have over quarter million people names addresses on list and they will not even answer and computer dumps your claim in negative file and you will never even hear from administrator unless you keep calling to find out what happened.THIS IS CALLED tourturing american public by administrators and attorneys.
@ Phil
Exactly. And if you were denied, you’re still a member of the class and lose your right to due process. The denial process is based on an algorithm of BMC software, not reality. Here’s a tip: MAIL In YOUR CLAIM FORM. These sites are good for gathering info but untrustworthy.
Absolute BS!!!
if we use many janky items we need to be compensated!!!
WT!!!
FTC has nothing to do with rejection of claims.Claim administrators have database to see which name and address are filing multiple claims.They are blaming FTC. By rejecting muti filers they think they are avoiding multi filers. In case of FTC vs walgreen they found half a million multi filers claims and rejected them even for 30 dollars.Skecher s they rejected 250,000 claims for same reason and more. DATA BASE is doing the tricks for them. Hope they get common sense before they get sued because what they are doing is exactly wrong manipulating peoples personal datas and abusing them .Now you know why we need snowdens.
It is not the FTC that you should be mad at or take legal action against. In class action suits like this, a company was certified to handle the claims and they are the ones who did not due their job, denied us due process and they are the ones who you should complain to/file a lawsuit against. They don’t like publicity. But they area company called BMC Group and they use software to eliminate so-called shady people, which can mean that you’ve moved twice in the past ten years. Their # BMC Group: 800.655.1129 Class Action: 952.404.5700 They administer a lot of these online claim forms and collect your ip address, etc. If you bought Skechers and were disqualified illegally, your issue is with BMC.

Be nice. She’s married but kinda cute.

Jenni, were you told that 500,000 additional checks were mailed out? When I heard that message on the automated system, I thought they just meant that 500,000 checks were mailed total and to be patient if you haven’t received yours yet. Is there still hope for people that were denied?
spoke with skechers today and on the automated system says that there are 500,000 more checks being mailed out this month. you should receive an email addressing the issue the checks are being mailed out. I knew that they could not deny the people who submitted claims that were less than 200.00 no matter how many claims you filed.
I also received a denial letter for Walborn. I received a check on the Reebok, but not the Skechers. I didn’t call the # because it seems like it would be a lost cause. They’re not going to correct anything. I thought the FTC was FOR the consumers, not against. I don’t keep receipts. I buy too much stuff to do that, especially as far back as these suits go. When we submit a claim and it says NO PROOF OF PURCHASE REQUIRED, and then the claim gets denied, that makes NO SENSE! They have no proof that WE DIDN’T BUY IT!!!
the ftc they are taking peoples money what are they going to do with the money they are just as bad they stilling money from people we file they takei wont file any thing from ftc so they can get the money because that’s what are doing you file a claim and they a getting the money take take take greed I will not help them get any money on my behalf
