It is important to understand that merchants can file claims directly with the Claims Administrator. If they choose to do so, they will find abundant information regarding the litigation at the Court-approved website, www.paymentcardsettlement.com. If they choose not to file on their own, an alternative is to file through a qualified claims recovery service like Brownstone & MPI.
