      I have been waiting to get paid by ******* for a class action, Im involved. I recieved the email today, from my attorney saying to contact ******* with any issues. I chose the option of PayPal because it stated the max **** is 2 days. After I get a message saying it wont be processed until 3/1/2023. I contacted ******* to get a recorded message saying that they cannot discuss the matter because its confidential to contact the attorney. I left a message with the attorney.

      Dear 19445454

      ********* is contracted by courts in Class Action cases to administer the settlement process for the court based on the settlement parameters.  Based on our information, and lacking the name of the court case, we believe this claimant's settlement did allow the option of PayPal. We contacted the vendor who is working with PayPal for the case we believe this claimant is referencing and have been advised by them that "there was a misconfiguration on their part in the delay for PayPal payout and the vendor is/was fixing it and all should be resolved. The vendor's initial focus was to be with those who had already redeemed."   

      Please let me know if this is not corrected, or if there are any other concerns or issues. At all times, we strive to insure complete compliance with all Class Action settlement parameters. 

      Best regards,

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      I still havent been paid nor contacted by ***********. This company should never state 2 days processing, and after you choose PayPal then it says 10 days later.

      I am a confirmed member of the Epipen Settlement. Last year I reached out to *******, to be told this could take years, and that there was currently no settlement being reached. As of November 2022, I contacted ******* again, because it appears this case was settled, although I have yet to receive any communications or payout from this business regarding this class action settlement.

      As the Court appointed administrator of a negotiated and Court Approved class action settlement, **************. is bound to conform to the terms and conditions outlined within those court documents and Orders. All our processes do comply with the stipulated procedures.

       

      We have reviewed our documents and find that the information that claimant gave about no settlement being reached is inaccurate.  She was probably told that her settlement payments have not been made yet. To date payments have not been made yet.  The claims process takes several months following a claim filing deadline to process claims, notify claimants of deficient conditions in their claims, and allow claimants to provide additional information. No claimants can be paid until all claims are finalized.  We anticipate distribution to occur in the first quarter of 2023.

       

      **************. followed the court documented procedure.  Please let me know if there are any additional questions or concerns.

      Date: 01/10/2023

      Hi ****

       

      Thank you for the opportunity to bring the BBB up to speed on the status of this complaint. 

      The letter we received from BBB was dated Dec 22, 2022 and was cancelled by the post office on Jan 3, 2023 at 8 PM per the stamp that I can copy and send if you wish.  That's 12 days from BBB composing the letter to mailing.  It was impossible to respond within the 7 days allotted in the letter. 

       Compounding this is that I did not receive it from our local *********** until Friday Jan 6, 2023.  It was immediately scanned and forwarded to the claim processing area for review and response. 

      We appreciate the opportunity to reply.  

      Best,

      Hello I was a part of a class action and I had contacted AB data ahead of time to make sure that they had my updated address to receive my class action settlement payment. everything was confirmed through email to be up to date and I was told my check would be sent out on November 7th. well here we are December 1st and I have still not received my check. I reached out to them several times to verify that they had put the check in the mail to the right address for two weeks after November 7th. they claim it was correct except for no one ever confirmed the city or state. I wound up calling them leaving messages to the Claims Administrator to reissue my check with my correct address and after 5 or 6 days still did not receive a phone call. I have emailed the lawyers over the case who forwarded my email to them to reissue my check; no response. I have emailed them directly and after 5 or 6 days still no response all I want is my class action settlement payment to be mailed to me to the correct address and that is all.

      As I believe is known, A.B. Data Ltd. is selected by courts to administer class action case settlements and award processing.  All our processes are dictated by the court settlement document, which is closely monitored.

      On October 7, 2022, upon receipt of the complaint, I sent the complaint information along with information I was able to pull off the BBB website to our A.B. Data claim processing area. The ** if the *************************** area researched the case and explained that A.B. Data did not do the calculations in this case.  For this Class Action case, A.B. Data did not do the claim administration,  nor the award calculations, and A.B. Data, in its role as Court-appointed Settlement Administrator, issued a settlement payment to this individual.  The payment amount was calculated pursuant to methodology approved by the Court. A.B. Data understands this individual disagrees with the payment amount.  Unfortunately, A.B. Data did not have any role in determining the payment amount. We processed the settlement award based on the payee and calculation information provided to us.

      Our A.B. Data *************************** ** advised that he forwarded this [complaint] on to the counsel in the case for additional information.  We have heard nothing.  Please note, A.B. Data was not the counsel in this case, nor was the counsel part of our organization. 

      If there is additional information you wish us to forward to the counsel for the case, please let me know. Please let me know if there are any other questions related to the processing of the settlement award itself.

Ms. Wilsons demands are specifically addressed in the Court Orders and Underlying documentation of the Class Action Settlement here at issue, and those terms do not allow for us to comply with Ms. Wilsons demands.

       

      1. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement which was adopted and approved by the Court and is available on the settlement website as well as at the Court, distributions in this matter will be made in five installments, one per year over the term of Five years as the defendant releases funds.
        1. Therefore, ********* is not in possession of the funds requested by Ms. ****** at this time.  As funds are received, they will be distributed, and Ms. ****** will be mailed her share of the settlement award.  

       

      1. In accordance with the Final Approval Order of the Court and at the direction of the parties all uncashed distributions are allocated to the Lake ********************** the Northern ******** ********** **************** and the *************************. 
        1. Therefore, the initial distribution to Ms. ****** in the amount of $2.58 was no longer available at the time of her initial contact on August 25, 2022.   This will not impact the remaining distributions scheduled for each December through 2025.
