$50 Million CRT Class Action Starts Sending Payouts After Appeals Delay

Back in August 2020, the $49.8 million Canadian CRT class action settlement announced it was ready to start sending out payments, 21 months after the case was approved.
The class action was related to alleged price-fixing by numerous makers of cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors in Canada, involving companies such as Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi, LG and more.
Now, just when you thought payment was coming—not so fast. On Thursday afternoon, the Canadian CRT Class Action emailed class members to say e-Transfer payments are forthcoming. The delay was “due to class member appeals,” says the class action, adding “we apologize for this delay.”
Here’s what the Interac e-transfer should look like:
The email says an Interac e-Transfer is coming and those without auto deposit set up will have to enter their security answer, which was provided in the email as well. The CRT Class Action says “it is anticipated that all claims will receive a minimum payment of $20.”
Payments to approved class members started on October 28, 2022, while all cheques were mailed on October 31, 2022. Interac e-Transfers started sending in batches back on October 28, 2022 and will complete by November 18, 2022.

So… displaying exactly what the email will look like… isn’t like giving the recipe to hackers about how to send fake phishing email asking users for their bank credentials 🤔
nobody should ever need your bank info, other than an email address. Anything more than that should be a red flag
Hi, I was confused when I received an email from CRT Class Action as I 0ut my name in several years ago. I recieved $30.63 today. Thank you to all the Lawyers and their helpers for all the tireless work they preformed!
Got the information logged into BA and entered the PW they sent and kept getting some kind of error. I checked the certificates and everything seemed legit but I didn’t feel comfortable entering all my info. Just to be sure I changed my banking PW. Not leaving myself exposed for $30.99.
