National Money Mart Class Action Lawsuit

I just found these recent updates on this Money Mart Class Action Website which seems to be hosted by SUTTS, STROSBERG LLP law firm.

15. On October 12, 2006, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed Dollar Financial's application for leave to appeal from the jurisdiction decision of the Court of Appeal for Ontario.

16. The Franchisees have undertaken and agreed to be bound, if the action is certified, by any declaration made by the court in relation to s. 347 of the Criminal Code.

17. The certification motion was argued on October 25, 26 and 27, 2006 before Madam Justice Alexandra Hoy. She reserved.

18. If you wish, you may hear an updated recorded message toll free at 800.229.5323 or you may contact a member of the class action team by calling 519.561.6296.

hmm Aug 29th, still no cheque - being in the group of "missed" people they have no idea when I am going to get my money because Money Mart has to pay me now as the settlement $$ has already been divided up and there is no money left....hmmm, as stated before, thought getting screwed would feel better....
On Aug 23, 2011, Confused Said:
Can anyone tell me how to use the transaction credits. I have 680 and they are sending me 200.00 cheque. Please don't tell me I have to make 136 transactions to recoup this at $5.00per transaction. Thanks for any info you can give me.

Hi As of today, no one in ontario have received a cheque because they have not sent them yet. Apparently their was an issue with the third party who produced the cheques. I know all of BC settelemnt have received their cheque. Perhaps we should all call Head Office in BC and start complaining. Maybe another class action suite for the delay in processing these cheques will make them produce the cheques faster or let us receive the amounts from our local branch.

I called the center over three weeks ago and confirmed my info. I was told she "thought" they were going to cut cheques in the next few days. I haven't recieved anything yet, and I live in Ontario.

Has anyone here in Ontario recieved a settlement cheque as of yet????
On Jul 26, 2011, Nick Said:
I called the 1-888 number on Friday July 22nd. I was on hold for over 1 hour. I was told that any cash credits amounts over $200.00 a cheque would be issued and they can only issue 1,000 cheques per weekand yes, you do have to call to confirm your address and full name to receive a cheque. If your credit is less than $200.00 you can receive your money form your local Money Mart. I really don't think it's fair that members with more than $200.00 credit have to wait almost a month to receive their cheque.
On Jul 25, 2011, not so pissed Said:
followup to my comment on the 21st - I called the branch I had the form faxed from and the manager there looked into it (being one of the smart people on the planet, she had saved the fax transmittal forms and found mine) and sent that to whomever it needed to be sent to. It seems that there is a group of us who were "missed" and it should be cleared up by the end of this week.
On Jul 25, 2011, Chris Said:
Called them again today. Now they tell me that a "team" is being put together to prepare 1,000 cheques per week. They are being told to tell clients not to expect a cheque until the first two weeks in August. This is for Ontario. As usual, payouts under $200 are to be paid out at a Money Mart location. They will not automatically mail out cheques - you need to call 1-866-504-7237 to confirm your address and to let them know you want your payment mailed to you. At this time they CAN tell you the amount by phone.

I feel sorry for everyone that is having a hard time. I live in B.C and luckily haven't had a problem. My cheque came back around the middle of July. I guess it's being paid out differently in this province because it was under $200 but they did it in cheque form. I also received a letter to take into the branch to get what I'm owed in credits.
On Jul 21, 2011, PISSED!!! Said:
called the number...and I am pissed - I went into the MM I always dealt with and had them fax in the confirmation that I was opting IN - I just called the 1-866 number and they told me that they never rec'd confirmation...you would think that getting screwed would feel better.....
On Jul 20, 2011, David Said:
You need to call 1866 504 7237 to request your cheque if it is over $200 dollars, if under that amount it has to be claimed at a moneymart facility. They are not automatically mailing out the funds.
On Jul 19, 2011, jim Said:
it seems any attempts to contact money mart for any update is a waste of time - the online chat is only for people who want to screw themselves and take out a payday loan you might want to hit yourself in the head with a hammer instead - at least it feels good when you stop and money mart never does. more lies more delays in the old days they were called loansharks now it's legal under money mart feel sorry for the honest employees - must suck to be tagged as a scumbag loser just because you work there not for the liars they employ who will lie right to your face maybe everyone should agree to call every store a couple of times at a designated time to make a point are you with me canada?
On Jul 18, 2011, jim Said:
does anybody really know what is happening here? i get the feeling that they are making the process difficult to get a straight answer I was told july 15 I was told payout coming now rep at office says no payout as i have no credits others say there is no one knows the way i see it 20 % on payday loans for 2 weeks works out to over 520 % per annum and adds to the misery of their typical clientele myself included
On Jul 18, 2011, Cristina Said:
I called on Thursday, July 14, 2011. They said that they would mail my $200+ cheque in the "next week or two" with the other cheques.
On Jul 18, 2011, Joanne Said:
Charming! Called my local store. They gave me the number to call, said that they couldn't tell me anything at the store. Called. On hold 1 hour Friday, July 15th. On hold 45 minutes this morning, then suddenly disconnected. I'm wondering if we should be contacting the courts? I doubt the lawyers will engage since they obviously were only in this for themselves!
On Jul 15, 2011, Philip Said:
Just called the buzzards and really it get frustrating when all you hear is "it is a procedure ordered by the court and we have to follow it"......sound like a broken tape recorder. The thing that really irritates me is on July 21st if you haven't received your cheque then they will reissue another cheque. I have offered to pay for registry mail so that I at least am assured the cheque will be received buy yes you guessed it," we are only to follow the court order process of mailing your cheque through regular mail. To me is sounds like a stall. I even went as far as asking for proof of existence of a cheque and was told they have a spreadsheet containing our info and a cheque ID number. Well were getting somewhere but when asked about who the bank is..." sorry but I do not have that information". I agree with Bob, maybe another class action suit might jolt them off tehir chairs.

I called a Money Mart Branch on Tuesday, they told me they could not release any information over the phone so I went in to a branch and inquired but the person working there did not know how they were handling the situation and gave me this number to call 1-866-504-7237. On Thurday I called the number, was quite a long wait for someone to come on the line, in any event, they advised me that I would be getting equivalent to half of the transacation credits that were calculated last year. If you are receiving less than $200 they will give it to you at any branch, however if more when you call the number they will ask you to confirm your address to be sure they send your cheque to the correct address. Now I dont know how they came up with this whole calcuation of the transacation credits, what I do know is that I paid thousands in interest alone over several years and to receive a few hundred dollars as recovery of this obsurd amount of interest and having waited so many years for this settlement is very dissapointing to say the least. It is better than nothing but can not even help with the financial burden I have been put under along with many others. In the end the lawyers are the winners in this settlemnt because they get millions.
On Jul 13, 2011, Sam Beckett Said:
Money Mart still hasn't sent anything. They blame Canada Post. All people need to call Money Mart because they're lying through their teeth! If the cheque was sent, it would be here! All other pieces of mail have showed up, just not Money Mart's. That's not a coincidence or CP, it's bull patties! Supposedly if it isn't here by the 21st, they can reissue a cheque. HOWEVER, only after you sign a waiver saying you won't cash the other one IF it shows up. That assumes that they will even send you the waiver, AND assumes that they'll send the reissued cheque. We could all be waiting forever, with Money Mart counting on some people giving up.
On Jul 13, 2011, Bob Said:
Seems to me that Money Mart is feeding us all a line. The main point of the plot involves the postal lock out. Still haven't received anything as of July 13th. MM may or may not be lying, but this is INSANE! BEFORE July 1st, they said, NOT AFTER! Might be time for another Class Action suit for having not paid anyone!
On Jul 11, 2011, waiting Said:
July 11 and still nothing...is it the same in each province?
On Jul 11, 2011, Chris Said:
I was told by phone last week the following: July 13th - Ontario payment amounts will be known in store. Drop in or call to find out how much you will get. July 15th - Payments under $200 can be picked-up at a store location. Payments over $200 MUST be issued by cheque only and should be issued within a week or so of the 15th. Best to call to ensure they have your current address on file. There is a dedicated number and team for the handling of claims. Here it is: 1-866-504-7237. I was told that Cash credits are estimated to be less than half of what you got in Transaction credits. If you know your Transaction credits amount, you can estimate the cash payout.
On Jul 4, 2011, Gerry Said:
July 4th and still nothing! I supposed the postal strike would delay things but this is getting lame! Betcha moneymart will milk the postal strike for all they can to delay having to shell out the settlements!! :P
On Jun 28, 2011, Tracey Said:
According to letter - chqs should be mailed out before July 1st....
On Jun 22, 2011, Isabella Said:
I called their hotline and I was told you would receive a phone call or a notice in the mail with respect to any cash settlement. You may have to pick up the money from an actual store near you.
On Jun 15, 2011, michelle Said:

On May 16, 2011, brad ellis Said:

On Apr 26, 2011, Kescat Said:
I was a part of this lawsuit... has anyone received their settlement letter yet?
On Apr 21, 2011, Seamoon Gable Said:
The cut off date to be added to the moneymart settlement in B.C. was back in February 2011. So if you didn't add your name to the list by then it's too late now.
On Apr 7, 2011, Melissa Pain Said:
I was involved with payday loans for about 3 years. Would like to know how this happens for the collection of money back to us ppl that were very tight handling money at the time of need...Would be great to see justice in this...
On Mar 29, 2011, Wayne Bonaguro Said:
I to had to deal with Money Mart on a monthly basis dating back several years. How can I get added to the class action suit.
On Mar 11, 2011, Stephen Stewart Said:
I would like to know if I am entitled for a rebate as I did transactions with Money Mart for several years.
On Mar 21, 2010, mary pulliin Said:
does this mean people who owed money back awhile dont have to repay it.?
On Dec 13, 2009, Jacques nassib Said:
I would like to know if I am entitled for some rebate as I did some transactions with Money Mart for about four years starting in 2002.
