Just came home today from vacation to find a check for the same, $699.20. What a nice surprise, also live in California. I don’t think it’s based on the amount of calls, I probably talked to them 2 – 4 times a year during the 4 years the suit spanned. This is the most generous settlement I’ve ever received. My guess is alot of people were leary to sign up to be part of the suit since they have to give their SS #, which made the amount greater for all of us that did.
I received a check for the amount of $699.20 on Friday, February 17, 2012. I was wondering if this amount is based on one call or is it based on calls made and received, anybody out there knows
Got $699.20, I was shocked to say the least, I forgot all about it. And to think I was reluctant to sign up for it since it asked for my SS #, now I know it is for tax purposes. ENJOY!!
Just got back from the bank and a friend of mine who works there, spoke with the bank representatives and confirmed that the check is good and the funds are sufficient. Everyone is good to go who gets the check!! Enjoy!!
$139.84 also in Florida. Thanks, TCAS!!!!
