      We recently sent out deficient notices for this settlement and this Class Member received such notice.  They have supplied us documentation to process and that is underway.  The settlement is not in distribution phase at this time as it has not been approved by the court.

      Angeion Group, LLC Is the law firm handling the ******** Tracking settlement. They sent my payment for $81.47 to the wrong account. Refused to answer my calls and emailed me and said its Venmos problem to fix. I called *****. I gave Angeion Group, LLC the correct phone number and they refuse to send my payment. They do not care about the clients they only care that they get paid by the defendants. They are the worst law firm *** ever communicated with. They are rude wont even provide all of the information to try to get Venmo to assist. Just keep paying the *****

      We have received internally Ms. ******* complaint and have spoken with her on this matter.  On our end, it shows her two payments have been successfully sent to the Venmo provided at the time the claims were filed.  If the Venmo changed at any point and was not updated with us, it would be Venmo who would need to correct on their end.   We have previously provided this guidance to Ms. ******* as the payment was successfully sent to the information provided.

       Complaint: 23200658

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Venmo has stated that the issue lies with the sender and that they need to correct the payment. I did provide an updated Venmo account multiple times. And no one ever reached back out to me after the initial phone call that was made to me after I filed the complaint with the BBB. They owe me money and it should be sent to my correct account since they have another round of digital payments going out this week. They wont even provide a trace number to Venmo as proof payment was sent.

      This Class Members payments for the ******** Internet Tracking Litigation Settlement were successfully sent using the ***** account information they provided at the time of claim submission.

      The Claim Form instructions for this Settlement include the following language: You must notify the Settlement Administrator if your contact or payment information changes after you submit your Claim Form. If you do not, even if you submit a valid claim under the Settlement, you may not receive your Settlement payment.

      Based on the date of the Class member reaching out to inquire about her payment and finding trying to give us new Venmo account information was after the release date of funds.  Changes to Payment method information was need prior to distribution on this case.  The issue now lies with Venmo for her to retrieve her funds.  Attached dated communication thread to show request dated after distribution.

      Attached are copies of documents previously submitted, to which I had accepted the settlement group's response. However, this settlement administrator has not responded appropriately. They completely ignored what my complaint was about, which was misspelling my name making it impossible for me to cash the settlement check. All documentation between the **** company and myself had the correct spelling of "*****" for my first name.I therefore must now make another complaint against Angeion and hope that the BBB can assist in finally resolving this. The prior BBB complaint # was ********

      Despite multiple, multiple attempts (via email and phone) to request the status or payment for a class action lawsuit claim being administered by this business (In re ********** Device Performance Litigation), I cannot get an answer from this business. I am shocked this business states it is an expert in administering class action settlements. I am owed $100 from them on an unpaid claim (SMRT01625975).

      In research of this Class Members complaint, we realized a previously sent communication never successfully made it to the Class Member.  It was then again retried and sent with no kickback as of date.  Status for this Class Member is as follows:

      After further research, we were able to find more information on the claim number you were originally inquiring about.

      Claim SMRT01625975 is ineligible for payment because it contained an identical serial number to another claim you submitted.

      Claim SMRT01626633 contained the same serial number that claim was approved and paid out in a check mailed to you January 2025. That check shows as successfully deposited/cashed in our system.

      On January 1, 2025 my email was used fraudulently to set up another ****** account. Coincidentally, on January 6, 2025, the disbursement for the ******* Settlement was sent to the email linked to my ****** account. Since then, I have been in contact with ****** regarding the fraudulent use of my email to set up another ****** account. As a result, I was unable to receive the funds because the email address linked to my ****** account has been frozen while ****** investigates what happened.I called the ******* Settlement Administrator (Angeion Group) on February 3, 2025 and sent them an email. I never received a call back from them, but I did receive an email back from them on February 17, 2025. They stated I would have a chance again to submit for the Second Chance digital program in early Spring (please see the attached screenshot below). My concern with this is that if the digital payment method was tampered with before, what if, coincidentally, another issue arises to digitally receive the funds again? Will I have to wait another 3 months to receive those funds?Don't you think the appropriate form of action would be to issue a check for the amount of $10.96 to my address since the digital form of payment failed?

      Business Response

      Date: 02/24/2025

      Due to volume in emails received since distribution, response times increased, and we apologize for the delay.  The class member was advised that if the digital deposit was not successful, she were to receive an email about a Second Chance opportunity to get the deposit straightened out.  Our records show an email was sent to Ms. ********** after her deposit was deemed unsuccessful, which is likely to what she stated she had to change the email on the Pay Pal account.  If she completed the instructions in the Second Chance email she should have received, she will go into the next reissue round once that date is set.  No further action would be needed from her at this time.  If she did not receive that email, we ask she please reach out so we may get her squared away.

      I am rejecting this response because I never received an email from Ageion Group with email instructions for the "Second Chance" program. Also, what is the date of disbursement for the "Second Chance" program? Does your company gain interest on the claim funds that coincidentally, were not successful to be disbursed electronically?

      I have been trying to get a reissue check for the Pine-Sol Settlement for several months and this business informs me that they are sending it but it is never received. I have contacted them over 6 times and they have informed me a few times that they are sending the check but it never arrives to me. I have contacted them on the following dates to ask when my check was being sent and they have replied with the following information:8/30/24 - They informed me that they will submit a reissue request for me.9/5/24 - The informed me that my original check was cancelled and a new check would be reissued to me.10/1/24 - They asked me for my address to reissue my check but never sent the check. They told me that check reissue requests take time and I had to be patient.11/7/24 - No Reply 11/22/24 - No Reply 12/6/24 - No Reply 1/10/25 - They finally replied and informed me that my reissued check would be reissued on this ******* is February 10, 2025 and I have still not received my reissued Pine-Sol settlement check.

      Thank you for reaching out.  ************************** appear to have been reviewed and answered along the way during this settlement per our email records.  Our last communication advised her check was in reissue status and time frames can vary.   As of today, her name is on the list for the next reissue distribution dated for February 19th, 2025.   After the check is reissued, it will be mailed to the address on file and will be contingent on **** for their delivery time frame.  We anticipate this should take no longer than 2-3 weeks.  Any further issues, Ms. ***** may reach out via the settlement email mailbox.

      I am part of a class action lawsuit against ***************************. I received a check from them early September with my first name misspelled. I returned the settlement check back to the Administrator because the bank would not honor the check. Attached is a letter sent to them along with attachments. I did not receive a response back from this Administrator. I did call them today at ************ and spoke with ****. She advised that they are still working on the settlements till February and did not offer to check further. This is an unsatisfactory response because a check was initially sent to me, but no acknowledgment of my letter or that they received the check back. So "they are still working on the settlements" does not reassure me in any way due to the fact that a check was already issued to me. There is no reassurance here that they will issue me another check. I feel that if I just sit and wait further this situation will be ignored and I will not receive my settlement.

      The settlement administrator issued me a replacement check. However, the first name is still misspelled!! I cannot cash this check. It is clear that they either did not bother reading what the submitted complaint was about, or they intentionally misspelled it again to avoid the payout. I want a valid check issued to me in my correctly spelled name of ***** ******.

      Mr. ****** ******* submitted 4 separate claims on his device under different claim types ( Enrollment Forms as well as Device Payment Award Claim Forms). These duplicate submissions flagged his claims as requiring further investigation to ensure that they were not fraudulent.
      Mr. ******** device is confirmed as returned to ******* Respironics, and his settlement claim (ending in 4670) has been approved for payment in our next round of payments that will be issued in early February, and his remaining submissions have been marked as duplicates.

      I purchased a product which was a coil that had a manufacturer defect. I submitted all my documentation/ proof and was told that my case was escalated yet I still received no update regarding my compensation. I am supposed to receive monetary compensation. I called several times and emailed and was told a few months ago to submit additional documentation which I did. I have receipt that they received it. At that same time I was told someone would get back to me within approximately a week. It has been months since submitting that additional documentation. They have had the original documentation approximately 6 months ago. Now when I call they have a recording and nobody picks up. I left messages and emailed and still no response. I would very much appreciate any assistance you could offer. Thank you for your assistance regarding this.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This is not accurate information by them. I have proof via documentation that they received my documentation several months ago because my email confirms my documents were confirmed. In addition, I have an email several months ago that my case was escalated. They ignored me for months until I reached out to the BBB. Now they are finally addressing it and they provided me with minimal compensation. I should have been provided with maximum compensation. When I purchased the coil it was purchased with the furnace and installed together. I was informed by my gas company that the agreement they had with York and the warranty department would be the same for both which is 10 years in which they handled with York and the warranty department just as long as I purchase it together. They only gave me half the money. I spent a lot more for the coil but in the least should have gotten *****. They gave me 550. I have been waiting for approximately 8 months for half. This is unacceptable.Thank you for your time.
