caution Advisory

Judge Gleeson, the United States District Court Judge presiding over In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation, has determined that certain information regarding the settlement previously displayed on this website, and others like it, was misleading.

As a result, Judge Gleeson has ordered that this website post this advisory. This is not the Court-approved Case Website. The Court is concerned, for example, that some class members who visited this site may not have fully understood their rights with regard to the proposed settlement and therefore may have made decisions without complete information. For information such as the Court-approved Notice, which provides a detailed description of the proposed settlement and class members' rights and options in connection with the proposed settlement, please visit: www.paymentcardsettlement.com. Judge Gleeson recommends that you visit that site before deciding what action, if any, you wish to take regarding the settlement. You may also want to contact the attorneys appointed by the Court to represent the interests of the Class.

On November 27,  2012, Judge John Gleeson of the United States District Court granted preliminary approval to a settlement in the case of In Re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation (MDL 1720). Unfortunately, the settlement is a bad deal for merchants. It would allow Visa and MasterCard to keep fixing fees in the future without limitation.  Every business of any kind that has accepted a Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card for payment since January 1, 2004 is a member of the class of plaintiffs in this antitrust case.
