Proof Required?
First Federal Bank of Kansas City has agreed to a $300,000 settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging the bank charged improper overdraft fees on debit card transactions. The lawsuit claimed that customers were hit with overdraft fees they shouldn't have been charged — fees that added up and hit account holders hard.
If you had a checking or debit account with First Federal Bank of Kansas City and were charged overdraft fees on debit card transactions, you may be entitled to a share of this settlement. You don't have to have won a lawsuit or taken any legal action yourself — simply being an affected customer could make you eligible.
This settlement is a chance for everyday banking customers to get some money back for fees that the plaintiffs argued were unfair or improperly applied. Read on to find out if you qualify and how to file your claim.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You held a checking or deposit account with First Federal Bank of Kansas City
- You were charged one or more overdraft fees on debit card transactions during the relevant period covered by the settlement
- You believe those overdraft fees were improperly assessed based on the bank's overdraft policies
- You are a current or former customer who received notice of this settlement, or whose account records show qualifying overdraft charges
How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $300,000, which will be divided among all eligible class members who file valid claims. The exact amount each person receives will depend on how many people submit claims and, potentially, how much in overdraft fees each individual was charged. Specific per-person payout amounts have not been publicly detailed, but customers who were charged multiple overdraft fees may receive a larger share of the fund.
Keep in mind that settlement administration costs and attorneys' fees will be deducted from the $300,000 before the remaining funds are distributed to claimants. Filing your claim is the only way to receive your portion — if you don't file, you won't receive any payment.
