FAQS
Is mass arbitration the same as class action?
No. Mass arbitration and class action are similar in that they both involve a group of individuals pursuing a legal claim against a company.
A class action lawsuit is a single lawsuit that is filed on behalf of many individual members. All of whom have been affected by the actions of the company in question. Whatever the conclusion of the case might be, this result will then apply to all members of the class action, and any potential compensation will be distributed among the members as well.
In the case of mass arbitration, each individual member of the group pursues their own arbitration claim against the company. The arbitration process is similar to a trial (as mentioned above), but it takes place outside of the traditional court system and is generally faster and less expensive than a court trial.
As opposed to a class action lawsuit, the results of each individual arbitration claim are separate, and can therefore vary depending on the specifics of each case.
What is reordering in terms of overdraft fees?
Not all overdraft fees are unfair for the same reasons. In recent years more and more banks have been suspected of reordering their customers’ transactions in order to obtain more fees.
This practice of reordering is what happens when a bank chooses to process a customers’ transactions in a different order than they occurred, which can result in higher overdraft fees for consumers.
Imagine that a consumer has $500 in their checking account and makes three transactions in one day. The first is a $10 coffee purchase, then a $50 grocery store purchase, and finally a $600 car repair bill. If the bank processes these transactions in the order that they occurred, the consumer will only overdraw their account on the third transaction and may be charged one overdraft fee.
However, if the bank uses reordering and processes the $600 car repair bill first, the account will be overdrawn on all three transactions, resulting in three overdraft fees. This practice has been the subject of numerous class action lawsuits, with some judges ruling that it is unfair and deceptive under consumer protection laws.
What should I do if I suspect my bank charges unfair overdraft fees?
One of the most important things you can do is to gather as much evidence as possible. You should keep copies of everything relating to the overdraft fees themselves, as well as any communication you might have had with the bank when discussing this.
It is preferable to get their replies in written form, so if possible consider sending them an email rather than ringing them up on the phone. This way you can refer to their own statements in court, and thus improve your chances tremendously.
Once you have gathered your evidence, the next step would be to contact us. We can help you identify any potential issues, and let you know how strong of a potential case you have.
What can reordering mean for me?
Reordering can have a significant impact on consumers, particularly those who live paycheck to paycheck or have limited financial resources. By charging multiple overdraft fees, banks can effectively increase the cost of transactions and cause financial hardship for consumers.
Can I still participate in a class action lawsuit against Renasant Bank if I no longer have an account with them?
Most likely. Depending on the time that has passed since you had an account at Renasant Bank, you might still be eligible to participate in a class action lawsuit. It does still require that you were unfairly charged overdraft fees during the time you had an account with the bank.
How long will it take to resolve a mass arbitration lawsuit against Renasant Bank?
The length of time it takes to resolve a mass arbitration lawsuit can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the number of parties involved, and other factors. Some cases may be resolved within a few months, while others may take several years to reach a final resolution.
