As part of the Bank of America class action lawsuit 2017, customers have been able to receive the full $75 million settlement. After accounting for attorneys’ fees, service awards, and costs of administering the settlement, the balance will be paid out on a pro-rata basis to former and current customers. The bank has also agreed to change certain practices and policies for at least five years. These changes include stopping the charge for retrying transactions and implementing new consumer account disclosures.
The lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of New York.
It aims to recover compensation for customers who have experienced unfair fees. The company has agreed to stop charging multiple fees for “retry” payments for at least five years. If all plaintiffs opt-out of the settlement, they can continue to file individual claims against the bank. The deadline to object to the settlement is Nov. 11, 2021. If you want to object to the settlement, you can do so before the deadline.
The bank will also be required to pay the plaintiffs’ legal costs. As of May 2017, Bank of America has indicated that it will file a motion to dismiss the case. However, the plaintiffs’ firm is still seeking other plaintiffs who have been charged similar fees by other financial institutions. The NAFCU will continue to monitor the progress of the case. If you have been a victim of unfair practices by the bank, you may be eligible for compensation.

The Bank of America class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States. The lead plaintiff, Joanne Farrell, filed the case in February 2016 against the bank for overdraft fees.

In addition to her $105 per-retry fee, she is pursuing compensation for her other customers.
The bank is facing a class-action lawsuit after the bank incorrectly charged a woman with an overdraft fee of $35.
The woman sued the bank because she was billed three $35 fees for trying to make a payment after she had been denied. The lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of New York. This settlement was made after the plaintiffs filed their complaint with the bank. It is important to note that the lawsuit does not apply to the overdraft fee.
The lawsuit filed by Farrell has received more than a million dollars in settlement. The lawsuit was thrown out by Bank of America’s lawyers, which attempted to dismiss the case. But in the end, U.S. District Judge M. James Lorenz sided with the plaintiffs and awarded them $75 million. This case is still ongoing, but the company has agreed to settle a portion of it. If the plaintiffs win, the lawsuit will be filed in the Southern District of New York.
Bank of America is not expected to pay the entire $75 million settlement.
But it will likely settle in the court of law. Despite the large sums at stake, the settlement may be worth billions of dollars for customers who experienced problems with the bank’s fees.
