The Lawsuit and Settlement
The lawsuit alleged that TD Bank charged customers multiple NSF fees on a single pre-authorized debit (PAD) transaction that was re-presented. In February 2024, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved a settlement agreement.
Who is Eligible for Payout?
The settlement applies to residents of Canada who were TD personal deposit account holders between February 2, 2019, and November 27, 2023. To be eligible for a payout, you must have been charged an NSF fee on a re-presented PAD transaction during this period.
How Much is the Payout?
The exact payout amount will vary depending on the number of eligible claimants and the number of NSF fees they incurred. However, estimates suggest eligible customers could receive around C$88 deposited directly into their TD personal deposit account.
How to Claim Your Payout
(It is important to note that the deadline to claim has likely passed as of July 23, 2024.)
The claim process for the TD Bank NSF fee class action lawsuit has likely concluded. Here’s why:
- The court approval occurred in February 2024. Class action settlements typically involve a claims filing window after approval.
- The information available suggests deadlines to opt out or object to the settlement might have been in January 2024.
