UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
A proposed class action settlement may affect your rights.
A federal court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. You are not being sued.
-
There is a proposed settlement in a class action lawsuit entitled John Meehan v. Capital One, N.A., No. 1:22-cv-1073, which claims that
Capital One, N.A. (“Capital One”) violated the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (“EFTA”). The plaintiff alleges claims on behalf of a
class of similarly situated individuals, asserting that Capital One violated the EFTA by: (1) failing to investigate certain debit
cardholder disputes of unauthorized transactions; (2) failing to provide debit cardholders with an explanation of decisions holding
the debit cardholder liable for alleged unauthorized transactions; and (3) in some cases, holding debit cardholders liable for
unauthorized transactions. Capital One denies the Plaintiff’s allegations and denies that Capital One is liable to the Plaintiff or
any of the putative settlement class members.
-
If you do not opt-out of the proposed settlement, you will receive a cash payment. You also have the right to submit a claim form
for an additional payment if the debit card transactions you disputed were, in fact, unauthorized. Whether you act or not, your legal rights are affected
by the proposed settlement. Your rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the Notice.
Please read the Notice carefully in its entirety.
