How true. My involvement with class action suits:
1. I received about ten $10 discount airline tickets for United Airlines. Don't even know what it was about, I just flew a lot with them at the time.
The tickets could only be used one for each booking on a FULL FARE ticket and expired in twelve months. Never used a single one.
2. Received a $10 check for some purchase I made back in the 1980's
3. Bought a stereo for my young daughter and the CD broke. About two years later I received notice I could have the thing fixed for free, including the shipping, or ask for $50. I took the $50 since I had already bought her a new stereo and junked the old one.
In none of these suits did I even realize I was a part of them nor was I ever asked to decline from the suit.
Most lawyers are scum.
My best was a $25 gift card from Lowes, the case had something to do with having made your credit card payment at the store.
That was pretty good, and I took it to Lowes, bought some flowers and of course spent a tad more than the 25 bucks.
I received a $7.50 check because the sticker on my lawn mower engine stated it was 5 hp. It was actually slightly less. Never heard what the lawyers made.
This is sad for the honest lawyers. Both may soon be unemployed.
