Class action lawsuit settlement for cardholders of Visa-, MasterCard-, or Diners Club-branded cards.

[randomness]

If you held one of these cards and were charged to make transctions in a foreign currency or with a foreign merchant between February 1, 1996 and November 8, 2006, you may file a claim.

Full information on this case and the settlement can be found at http://www.ccfsettlement.com.

You may have received a pre-printed form in the mail. If you have not, you can go to this website: https://www.ccfsettlement.com/claim/?action=choose which will provide you with three options, an Easy Refund, a Total Estimation Refund, or an Annual Estimated refund.

The deadline for filing a claim, which had been in early January 2008, has now been extended to May 30, 2008. The deadline for opting out of the settlement damages class or objecting to the settlement has been extended to February 14, 2008.

Huh. I was charged in November 2007 most recently (by MasterCard in the States). If this has been the subject of a class action lawsuit, why are they still doing it?

I believe (based on about ten seconds of reading, so take this with a big old hunk of salt) that the class action was with regard to insufficiently disclosed fees. So they may have increased their disclosure but continued to charge the fees.

I believe Adam is right.
