Top Class Actions readers are reporting that their settlement checks for the TransUnion Credit Report Class Action Lawsuit Settlement have arrived, and the payout is much larger than promised!
The TransUnion credit report settlement resolves a 2009 class action lawsuit, titled Wang v. Asset Acceptance, LLC, that alleged TransUnion issued credit reports containing inaccurate information about disputed debts. Class Members that had such a report submitted by TransUnion to a third-party between June 22, 2009 and October 15, 2009 had until March 2, 2012 to file a Claim Form to receive free credit monitoring and up to $100 in cash.
However, several Top Class Actions readers are reporting their settlement payout is nearly 50% more than the estimated $100 reward. This is probably because not all Class Members of the TransUnion Credit Report Settlement submitted Claim Forms.

Is this check real for $25.80 from tranunion?
I recieved a chevk today for 25.80 as well but as stated above by others check does look suspicious, no bank address and for deposit only. Will check with my bank for more info before cashing/depositing.
I too received a check for 25.80 in the mail today but not at my home where I have lived for almost 6 years. It was sent to my parents. I’d be curious if anyone has cashed this with success.
I received my check in July 2014, I checked the web for info and it said to deposit it. If you do, there is a second round of checks to be send. The second checks are the results of some people not depositing in sixty days from the date printed on the checks
Received check today 07/28 Only $25.80. There will also be a second distribution it says on the website.
Unless the Seventh Circuit’s decision is appealed, the first round of checks will be distributed to Registered Claimants in the summer of 2014. A second distribution will take place in the future to distribute checks to all Registered Claimants who timely negotiated their checks during the first distribution.
Is this a valid check??? I too just got my $25.80 check, but it doesn’t look like a real check. A bit wary of cashing it only to get to told the money wasn’t there/able to cover it and I’m stuck reimbursing the amount of the check plus a fee.
Somebody please respond! Did anyone else cash this check?
My husband and I both rec’d individual checks in the amount of $25.80. Not really sure what this was for and am afraid to deposit it. Beware of depositing this check into your checking account in case it is a scam. Going to check with bank to see if they will just cash it. Anyone have any problems with these checks?
I received a check for $25.80 on 7/28/2014. I find it odd that above the signature it says “For Deposit Only”. I have received several checks over the years and none of them have ever said for deposit only! I am going to return the check…return receipt requested and tell them they can re-issue the check without “For Deposit Only” on it or issue a debit card with the $25.80. I do not deal with banks! I do not have any place to deposit this check! I just find it very strange.
I took the check to my bank and asked if it was fraud. They told me that it didn’t look quite right because there is no banking information. Such as no address for The Huntington National Bank printed on the check.
Yes, I did cash the check. The bank noticed the “deposit only” and said that if there’s a problem with the check later then the $25.80 would come out of my account. But why would they issue a bad check for a large firm like TransUnion?
I too got a check for 25.80 I had a few reservations and my credit union says the best place for it is the shredder where it now resides. It came from a so called Transunion settlement administrator in Portland Oregon. Flag 1 why would the company address be a Post Office Box in Portland? Flag two The check is drawn on Huntington Bank who has a Portland branch but when my credit union ran the routing number it was to a branch in Columbus Ohio. Flag 3 on the lower right hand portion of the check it is marked for deposit only. Our conclusion was that if I deposited it That would give the scammers my routing number and account number and they would be off to the races with my bank account.
Huntington National Bank Customer Service confirmed that they are the escrow agents for the Transunion settlement fund. They verified my check number. I also went on a Huntington Bank online chat and asked about the check. The girl also confirmed that she found Transunion on the banks list of settlement escrowed funds.
I cashed mine
I received my check today for $25.80. Why does the check have for deposit only printed on front. I don’t feel comfortable depositing it into my account. Making my information available to them
Bob, would you please tell me which website you are referring to? We also received $25.80, but I’ve seen larger amounts, as being due to members of the suit. Thank you.
I believe Bob is referring to this website: http://www.listclassaction.com/content/Final_Distribution_Order.pdf
i also received a check for $25.80 issued on7/24/2014 so will i be getting another check?
Bob, can you please advise on the website where you saw that there will be a second distribution? I for one cannot locate that information & would love to know. Thank you!
So, Bob, what you are saying is that if we cash the first check (and take a chance it may be a scam) that we may receive a second. I wasn’t expecting this whole $25.80. Heck, I didn’t even know this was going on, so I will just hold onto it and eventually dispose of it.
Received check 7/28
