Currency Conversion Fee Litigation
 

Snail mail the other day included a settlement claim for excessive conversion fees on foreign transactions using debit/credit cards. The time period covered is 10 years.

I have never heard of any such lawsuits, nor have I received any previous mailings regarding the status of this suit/settlement. I'm wondering if anyone else received such a mailing? It looks legit, but is it? Given the long timer period a refund could be substantial.

They also referred to a website www.ccfsettlement.com

Thoughts?

I did, with my credit card. There's a thread somewhere the deadline for submitting a claim has been extended a few years.

I received one yesterday. I can accept an "easy settlement" of $25 or a few other options.

just saw that in the WSJ over the weekend and was meaning to check out the website. thanks for bringing this up.

That thread did not come up when I searched. Thanks!
