If you have or had a checking account with SafeAmerica Credit Union ("Defendant") and you were charged certain overdraft fees and/or NSF fees between November 9, 2019 and February 29, 2024, then you may be entitled to a payment from a class action settlement. The Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa has authorized this Website; it is not a solicitation from a lawyer. Para una notificacion en Espanol, visite la sección <a href="https://www.thompsonoverdraftsettlement.com/documents">Documentos</a> de este sitio web. This litigation, Yvonne Pope Thompson v. SafeAmerica Credit Union, alleges that defendant SafeAmerica Credit Union (“Defendant”) improperly assessed APSN Fees, Retry Fees, and Sufficient Funds Fees between November 9, 2019 and February 29, 2024. Defendant does not deny it charged the fees the class representative is complaining about, but contends it did so properly and in accordance with the terms of its agreements and applicable law. Defendant therefore denies that its practices give rise to claims for damages by the Named Plaintiff or any Class Members but is settling to avoid expense and distraction resulting from the litigation. If you are a Class Member and if the settlement is approved, you may be entitled to receive a cash payment from the $390,000 Settlement Fund.     The Court has preliminarily approved this settlement. It will hold a Final Approval Hearing in this case on November 13, 2025 at 9:00am PT. At that hearing, the Court will consider whether to grant final approval to the settlement, and whether to approve payment from the Settlement Fund of up to $5,000 for a service award to the Named Plaintiff (Yvonne Pope Thompson), up to one-third of the Settlement Fund as attorneys’ fees ($130,000), plus reimbursement of reasonable litigation costs to the attorneys and the Settlement Administrator. You may attend the hearing with or without an attorney, at your own expense, but you do not have to. If the Court grants the Final Approval Order and you do not request to be excluded from the settlement, you will release your right to bring any claim covered by the settlement. In exchange, Defendant has agreed to issue a credit to your account or make a cash payment to you if you are no longer a member of Defendant. <figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>SUMMARY OF YOUR OPTIONS AND THE LEGAL EFFECT OF EACH OPTION<figure class="table" style="width:100.18%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:27.86%;"/><col style="width:72.14%;"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;">Do Nothing</td><td>If you don’t do anything, you will receive a payment from the Settlement Fund so long as you do not opt out of or exclude yourself from the settlement (described in the next box). </td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;">Exclude Yourself from the Settlement</td><td>You can choose to exclude yourself from the settlement or “opt out.” This means you choose not to participate in the settlement.
