Are You in the Class?
Confirm you match the fee types and dates in your notice. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency points to repeat $35 NSF and overdraft fees on representment of the same transaction.
Its July 2023 bank overdraft findings describe that pattern in federal bank actions. Keep a statement that shows the charge type and date. If your fees fall outside the listed types or period, you are not in the class.
Where Do You File Your Claim?
File only on the court-approved official site named in your mailed or emailed notice. The SunTrust Overdraft Settlement Administrator directs claimants to its site with a Claim ID and PIN, shown in the official SunTrust settlement postcard.
Submit a timely, valid form exactly as instructed. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida conditions payment on a completed timely form.
- Go to the address printed in your notice, not a search result
- Enter the Claim ID and PIN from your notice
- File online or by mail as the notice directs
- Send what the form asks for, nothing extra
What Deadlines and Details Control Payment?
Meet the printed claim deadline and keep your address and account information current. The U.S.
District Court for the District of Kansas set 112 days after entry for claims in a 2025 order. That same Kansas order set 28 days before final approval for opt-outs and objections. A late or incomplete form can lose payment even if you qualify.
When Is No Claim Form Needed?
Do not assume every case needs a claim. The official Sullivan v. Florence Bank settlement site says retry and APSN fees from April 12, 2018 to Feb.
12, 2024 pay from bank records with no claim form if final approval issues. You can review the terms on the official Sullivan fee settlement site. Government redress often also needs no action. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says the company must identify and notify eligible customers, so update your contact details and watch for notice.
How Do You Stay Safe and Keep Your Options?
Filing is free and regulators never require payment or account credentials to send redress. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau warns customers to reject requests for fees, gift cards, crypto, or banking passwords, explained in its Wells Fargo customers guidance. Verify through the official administrator domain named in your notice.
If you want out or disagree, you must act separately in writing by the notice deadline. The Kansas federal order says opting out preserves an individual suit but forfeits payment, while objecting leaves you in the class for the fairness hearing. Reject any message asking for gift cards, crypto, or passwords.
