WRRSV is pleased to announce that the Court has preliminarily approved a $92,000,000 class action settlement in Thomas v. U.S. Bank National Association, Case No. 1216-CV20561. U.S. Bank National Association and U.S. Bank National Association ND (collectively “U.S. Bank”) have agreed to pay $92,000,000 to settle the claims of over 2,400 class members who obtained approximately 1,500 second mortgage loans that were purchased by, assigned to, or serviced by U.S. Bank. Class Members who do not exclude themselves from the settlement will receive a substantial payment ranging from an estimated $250 to $142,257 ($33,499 on average).
The claims asserted against U.S. Bank in the Thomas case were originally asserted in five separate class action lawsuits, and this settlement will resolve the “Released Claims” against U.S. Bank in each of those cases. Because the Missouri law claims filed against the other defendants in those five class action lawsuits have yet to be resolved, those five lawsuits will remain pending. For more information about those underlying lawsuits, you can click on the case names below:
