Norcold class action settlement

[mikestock]

Has anyone heard any estimates as to when Norcold will begin paying off the claimants in the Norcold 1200 settlement?

If the plaintiff loses the case I believe the lawyers don't get any payment for their work. At any rate, the lawyers do provide a needed
service since a lot of defective products are put out by manufacturers that only care about bottom line profit.

Good luck. Those lawyers will never become politicians. Not with success like that...

The settlement is supposed to start paying within 90 days after the final hearing. It is to be paid in 4 installments over 3 years. Even if you have had no problems with your unit, if your unit is included in the class then you will receive something.How much depends on how many people file a claim. The web site for the class action has a rather extensive FAQ on the process.

Upon closer scrutiny of this settlement I have found that even though you may not have experienced any problems as yet with this issue claimants will receive a 3 year extended warranty with your claim. You must submit a claim by 8/26/16 and can do so online easily by going to Norcoldclassaction.com. I just di it and it took all of 5 minutes, but have your serial number ready, its inside the door of the unit. I have not had any problems as yet with mine but I am certainly getting in on the warranty extension.

Doesn't hurt to fill out the form. If your unit fails later, or the "owner share" kicks in, you at least receive something. Lack of filing claim means you continue to get nothing.

Per example: Without knowing it, my son was in a class action suit against a couple of college loan funding disputes. He never filed, but the colleges included every student with student loans outstanding. Three years later, he received a check for $15, another for $65, and other for $51 ... he was happy about it, although it didn't make him 'rich' ... not much money, but so what, it still counts.

Looks like the least anyone can get if you own it is the $68 or so ... all it takes is a claim form.

Mine is a 2012 model, runs six to seven months out of the year with out a problem.

MILLIONS of Norcolds operate flawlessly. People have had failures over the years. The RECALL was just a safety response by Norcold. But, once lawyers realized they could get millions suing they did. As always, very FEW of the real people that deserve some money/compensation will see any real money. The Lawyers ALWAYS take the bulk of the money, otherwise why would they bother? They NEVER care about the victims, they just want the money. Doug

According to the class action website, if you can prove $1700 in repair costs, your to receive $3100 over three years with the initial payment coming shortly after the September hearing. If you have not joined the class action suit, you can register online to become a part of it until Aug 26th. This action covers you if you still own this refrigerator or have owned one in the passed. The only thing the website asks for when you register other than name, address and phone number is the serial number on the fridge. They will accept your registration if you do not know the serial number. I think the website is norcoldclassaction.com.

READ the settlement again. The AMOUNT you will receive depends on your bills and HOW MANY claimants there are. If very few claimants, you will get that $3100. But if there are a LOT, then the amount goes down. That is why there is a deadline for submitting your claim. After that deadline, if you did not send in a claim, you are not included. Doug

I think there were certain year models involved in this because when I checked it out, ours was too old to be included. Ours is a 2000 and still going strong even after 5 + yrs of full-time.

You will be lucky if it is $34.00.

Not losing sleep waiting on this windfall.

Just curious to know when I will be getting my $34 to apply to my new residential fridge.
