DebitCardSettlement.com is the website you may want to go to if you are looking for detailed and comprehensive information regarding the Settlement for the Class Action lawsuit entitled Wike v. Vertrue, Inc.
The lawsuit alleges that Vertrue, Inc. and Adaptive Marketing unlawfully charged consumers membership fees in their debit cards when they enrolled in membership programs run by Vertrue, Inc. and Adaptive Marketing. The lawsuit states that the membership fees were charged without prior consent of the consumers and that no copy of the approval was ever given to consumers. This act of the Defendants, according to the lawsuit, is a clear violation of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act or EFTA. All accusations were denied and contested by Vertrue and Adaptive Marketing.
A proposed Settlement was agreed by both parties to end further inconvenience that may be caused by continued trial and litigation. Vertrue and Adaptive Marketing have agreed to pay Class Members $150 each for each membership program that may have been charged to their debit cards. To receive payment, Class Members are required to properly fill up and submit a Claim Form that should be postmarked not later than Dec. 31, 2011. For a complete list of the membership programs that are under the conditions of the Settlement, visit the DebitCardSettlement.com website.
