      Dear Better Business Bureau,I am filing this complaint against JND Legal Administration for the In re MacBook Keyboard Litigation Settlement for their failure to acknowledge or process my valid settlement claim, despite my timely efforts to resolve the issue.Key Details of the Complaint:Settlement Background:The In re MacBook Keyboard Litigation Settlement received preliminary approval on November 28, 2022, with claims due by March 6, 2023.I submitted my claim in September 2021 (via mail) believing it to be part of this settlement process, as I experienced the defective keyboard issue outlined in the case.Administrators Response:The administrator stated my September 2021 submission was unrelated because official claim forms were not available until after November 28, 2022.They claim they cannot locate my submission, despite my documentation of follow-up attempts Issues Raised:Lack of Clarity: The settlement process was not clearly communicated to class members prior to November 2022. My early submission reflects confusion about how to participate.Inconsistent Treatment: Another claimant, ******* ******, filed around the same time (September 2021) and received their settlement, while my claim remains unresolved.Poor Communication: The administrator ignored multiple follow-ups and failed to provide guidance on resolving the discrepancy.

      The In re MacBook Keyboard Litigation Settlement received preliminary approval on November 28, 2022.Notices to potential Class Members were completed in January 2023. As the Claim Form and Notices were not available until after preliminary approval, any claim mailed in "September 2021" would have been unrelated to this Settlement. 

      Further, based on the information provided, we are unable to locate a claim submission from Mr. ******* A claim must have been submitted by March 6, 2023, to be eligible to receive a payment.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Thank you for your response. I would like to clarify the following:  

      1.  September 2021 Submission- I submitted documentation of my defective MacBook keyboard in September 2021 via mail to your firm and to *****
      - This submission was intended to initiate a claim for compensation, which I believed would later align with the *In re MacBook Keyboard Litigation Settlement*.  
      - Please confirm whether early defect reports (like mine) were incorporated into the settlement process or if I was required to re-submit a claim post-November 2022.  
      2. Discrepancy with ******* ******* Claim: ************** September 2021 submission was accepted, why was mine disregarded? Please provide the criteria used to validate his claim.  
      3. Request for Resolution:
      - I am happy to re-submit any required documentation to comply with the March 6, 2023, deadline retroactively.  
      - If this is not possible, please explain the appeals process for late claims or exceptions. 


      Furthermore , I was never notified to file a new claim. 


      I look forward to your prompt resolution.

      Sincerely,

      JND Legal Administration is the Court-appointed settlement administrator for the class action lawsuit captioned  In re MacBook Keyboard Litigation, No. 5:18-cv-02813-EJD (N.D. Cal.)(the Settlement). Settlement administration procedures and protocols are dictated by the Courts Orders and Settlement Agreement which was approved by the Court.  The most current updates and information regarding the Settlement can be found on the Settlement Website (***********************************************).

      As previously noted, the Settlement did not receive preliminary approval until November 28, 2022. Notices were sent out pursuant to the Courts Orders and Settlement Agreement in January 2023. The Notice explained the lawsuit, the Settlement, the legal rights of class members, what benefits were available, who is eligible for them, and how to get them.  Claims had to be submitted by March 6, 2023 to be eligible for payment.

      Mr. ****** did not submit an eligible claim during the relevant time period in connection with this Settlement.

      Complaint: 23056250

      I am rejecting this response because: I am writing to formally appeal the resolution of my complaint against JND Legal Administration, the claims administrator for the *In re MacBook Keyboard Litigation Settlement*. While I appreciate the BBBs efforts to mediate this matter, **** response fails to address critical discrepancies in their handling of my claim. I respectfully request a reinvestigation of this issue for the following reasons:  

      1. **** Contradictory Treatment of Claims**  
      JND asserts that claims submitted before November 28, 2022, are invalid because the settlement process had not yet begun. However, ********* ********, a fellow claimant, submitted a claim in September 2021 (the same timeframe as my submission) and received payment. This inconsistency directly contradicts JNDs stated protocols and raises serious concerns about:  
      - Unfair administration: Why was Mr. ******* claim approved while mine was dismissed under identical circumstances?  
      - Lack of transparency: *** has refused to provide documentation or criteria explaining this discrepancy.  

      2. Misleading Communication About Claim Deadlines
      JND claims I did not submit a claim by the **March 6, 2023, deadline. However:  
      - I submitted documentation of my defective keyboard to ***** in September 2021, which I reasonably believed would initiate a claim process.  
      - *** never notified me that my early submission was invalid or that a new claim was required post-November 2022. This lack of communication deprived me of the opportunity to re-submit by the 2023 deadline.  

      3. Request for BBB Intervention  
      I urge the BBB to:  
      - Compel JND to provide proof of ******* ******* claim approval (with redacted personal details) to verify their inconsistent application of settlement rules.  
      - Investigate whether *** failed to notify early claimants like myself about the need to re-submit claims after November 2022.  
      - Address JNDs failure to communicate with me despite multiple follow-ups

      The BBBs mission to ensure ethical business practices is critical in holding companies like *** accountable for unequal treatment and poor communication. I trust you will reconsider this matter and advocate for a fair resolution.  


      If further clarification is needed, please contact me

       

      Thank you for your time and attention.  



      Sincerely,

      I am a victim of the Equifax data breach and am still awaiting my payment for redistribution of funds to claimants for my extended claim from completing extended claim before Jan *******. I contacted the real Equifax data breach settlement 2 months ago via email and was told they would send my email on record with prepaid card for the settlement to my email on file. That email was compromised from their data breach but I still have access and monitor. They never sent the email again. I had deleted it as I thought it was spam. I successfully received a prepaid card original payment in 2023 and followed all directions for redistribution of funds for valid claims. I got 2 emails in Nov 2024 and Dec 2024 but never received what the Equifax data breach settlement administrator promised to do, which is send the email again as I had deleted it thinking it was spam/phishing. Now, I got a voicemail from a scam number posing as the Equifax data breach settlement administrator at **********. It is not even my correct name and left no last name. This is not the phone number for the Equifax data breach administrator when I looked it up. Appears to be yet another scam. Still awaiting my payment for my valid claim after being promised via valid email contact they would resend it and this is more proof of their incompetency. I attempted to update my address and asked for it to be mailed but they never updated my address. This scam/phishing call is terribly frustrating after the real Equifax data breach administrator settlement still has not issued my redistribution of funds for my valid claim and all the damage done from the Equifax data breach has been a nightmare.The court appointed Equifax data breach settlement administrator is listed as JND Legal Administration.

      The Settlement and Consent Orders reached with the **** CFPB, and State Attorneys General in 2019 prioritized reimbursing settlement class members for the costs they incurred related to the breach and providing credit monitoring to any settlement class member who wanted it.  In order to ensure funds would be available for these priorities, the Settlement and Consent Orders initially limited claims for time spent and alternative compensation to a total of $62 million.  The entire $62 million allocated for these claims was distributed proportionally as required by the Settlement Agreement and Consent Orders.   

      The Settlement and Consent Orders specially provided that claims would be paid on a proportional or pro rata basis dependent on the number and amount of valid claims filed.  The Settlement and Consent Order documents (which can be found on the Equifax Settlement Website ( **************************************************************************)), the **** on the Settlement Website, and the Claim Forms themselves, all provide that claim amounts could be reduced and were going to be distributed on a proportionate or pro rata basis. For example, the website notes that [b]ased on the number of potentially valid claims that have been submitted to date, payments for Time Spent likely will be substantially lowered. Depending on the number of valid claims filed, the amount you receive may be a small percentage of your initial claim.Further, the Extended Claims Period Claim Form that Ms. **** filed provided that Your payment may be less depending on the number and amount of claims filed and Your cash benefit may decrease depending on the number and amount of claims filed.

      ***** M **** filed an online Extended Claims Period claim on June *******, requesting 2 hours of Time Spent.   She was approved for payment, and she was issued a check for the 2 hours of Time Spent at the pro rata amount.

      This is obviously their terminology, not mine. I NEVER made that request. 

      The only request I made was for $125.00 for the Equifax Data Breach. They sent a $3.52 check. How is $3.52 restitution for a breach of my personal information?

      They are stalling and hoping for my complaint to run out with the BBB. They have emailed me instead of responding to the BBB website. They continue to ask for my full name and address, which they already have received. If they would stop playing games and just send the $125.00 that is owed to me this matter would end today.
      Sincerely,

      ***** ****

      JND Legal Administration (JND) was appointed by the ************ Court for the Northern District of ******* to serve as the Settlement Administrator in the matter captioned In re: Equifax Inc. Customer Data Security ********************** Litigation, Case No. 1:17-md-2800-TWT. Settlement administration procedures and protocols are dictated by the Courts Orders and Settlement Agreement which was approved by the Court. *** may only pay claims that meet the requirements set forth in the relevant Settlement Agreements and Court Orders. Further information can be found at ****************************************************************************************;
      ***** M **** filed an online Extended Claims Period claim on June 12, 2020.   She was approved for payment, and on December ******, was issued a check which was sent to her address on file.  The check was returned on January 13, 202, as undeliverable.  During this time, ******* contacted us to request we update her address and reissue the check to her new address.  We updated her address, and on January 27, 2025, a new check was mailed to her updated address.  As indicated on the check, Ms. **** must cash or deposit the check within 90 days of issuance.  
      The Settlement and Consent Orders reached with the FTC,CFPB, and State Attorneys General in 2019 prioritized reimbursing settlement class members for the costs they incurred related to the breach and providing credit monitoring to any settlement class member who wanted it.  In order to ensure funds would be available for these priorities, the Settlement and Consent Orders initially limited claims for time spent and alternative compensation to a total of $62 million.  The entire $62 million allocated for these claims was distributed proportionally as required by the Settlement Agreement and Consent Orders.   

      The Settlement and Consent Orders specially provided that claims would be paid on a proportional or pro rata basis dependent on the number and amount of valid claims filed.  The Settlement and Consent Order documents (which can be found on the Equifax Settlement Website ( **************************************************************************)),the **** on the Settlement Website, and the Claim Forms themselves, all provide that claim amounts could be reduced and were going to be distributed on a proportionate or pro rata basis.  For example, the website notes that [b]ased on the number of potentially valid claims that have been submitted to date, payments for Time Spent likely will be substantially lowered. Depending on the number of valid claims filed, the amount you receive may be a small percentage of your initial claim. Further, the Extended Claims Period Claim Form that Ms. **** filed provided that Your payment may be less depending on the number and amount of claims filed and Your cash benefit may decrease depending on the number and amount of claims filed.

      ***** M **** filed an online Extended Claims Period claim on June 12, 2020,requesting 2 hours of Time Spent.   She was approved for payment, and she was issued a check for the 2 hours of Time Spent at the pro rata amount.

      I am rejecting this response because: JND Holdings continues to respond to my BBB in their legal verbage and never acknowledges that they owe $125.00 me for the Equifax Breach of my private and financial information. They continue to response as if I were not entitled to the $125.00, which I am and they know it. Furthermore are they saying my time is only worth $3.52 in their bizarre calculation of "time spent". If they would just be honest and send me the $125.00, I deserve then this matter would be fairly resolved.


      Sincerely,

      ***** ****

      Ms. ****** filed two Extended Claims Period claims related to the 2017 Equifax Data Breach.  

      The "Time Spent" portion of Ms. ******** first Extended Claims Period claim was approved for the maximum 20 hours allowable under the Settlement.  The "Money Spent" portion of her first Extended Claims Period claim was denied as deficient. 
      The "Time Spent" portion of Ms. ******** second Extended Claims Period claim was denied because Ms. ****** was already approved for the maximum 20 hours of "Time Spent" in connection with her first Extended Claims Period claim. The "Money Spent" portion of her second Extended Claims Period claim was denied as deficient.

      Ms. ****** was sent Denial Notices for the denied portions of her claim with explanations.  Per the Settlement Agreement,claimants have 30 days to appeal a Denial Notice.  Ms. ****** appealed the first Denial Notice (relating to her first Extended Claims Period claim), which is under review.  Ms. ****** did not appeal the second Denial Notice (relating to her second Extended Claims Period Claim).  Any eligible amounts (including her "Time Spent" portion which has already been approved) will be paid after appeal period.

      I was a part of an Apple Keyboard Litigation class-action and despite submitting all of the required documentation for the class-action, I was told by *** I did not. It is a complete lie and I suspect collusion with ***** to reduce claim payments. They are purposefully vague in responses and getting those responses takes far too long. They are absolute scum.

      This matter relates to the settlement in In re MacBook Keyboard Litigation, No. 5:18-cv-02813-EJD (N.D.

      Mr. ****** received a deficiency and subsequent denial notice for a non-Apple / ************************ Provider (AASP) repair. ********* provided a timely deficiency response on January 28, 2024.  We have re-reviewed the documentation provided.  Although some of the documentation provided by Mr. ****** was for a different computer, etc., his submission included sufficient evidence to indicate that he was eligible for a Group 2 payment of $125.00.  We will be sending him a check to the address provided.

Further information can be found at **********************************************************************************.

      ***** ****** filed three claims: two Initial Claims Period claims and one Extended Claims Period Claim. Her first Initial Claims Period claim was filed September 8, 2019 on her second Initial Claims Period claim was filed on October 22, 2019.  She was deemed eligible for the maximum 20 hours of Time Spent after combining both of her Time Spent claims from her two Initial Claims Period Claims.  On December 19, 2022, she was issued a pre-paid card to her email address on file for $35.23 for the 20 hours of Time Spent (pre-paid card was her requested method of payment).   Her Extended Claim was filed on April 18, 2020 and she requested another ***** hours of Time Spent. However, she was already paid for the maximum 20 hours of Time Spent from her Initial Claims Period claims and therefore, not eligible for any additional Time Spent.

      Due to leftover Settlement Funds, Ms. ***** was also eligible for an Additional Pro Rata Payment.  Per Sections 5.4 and 5.5 of the Settlement Agreement,any remaining funds in the ************************* are to be distributed to Settlement Class Members with valid claims for time spent and alternative compensation. On December 2, 2024, Ms. ***** was issued a prepaid card for $29.74 to her email address on file with instructions on how to use the card. 

      Ms.***** has now provided a new email address in connection with this BBB Complaint.  We will reach out to her directly using this new email address to discuss reissues of her two pre-paid card amounts.
