Story, et al. v. Heartland Payment Systems, LLC, Case No. 3:19-cv-724 (M.D. Fla.)

Our firm recently secured a favorable settlement in the Heartland MySchoolBucks Fee Overpayments class action litigation. The Plaintiffs sued Heartland for charging “Program Fees” every time people uploaded money to the MySchoolBucks website for students to buy school lunches. Plaintiffs claim that Heartland was not legally allowed to charge MySchoolBucks users these Program Fees. As a result, MySchoolBucks users paid more money than they should have to upload money for their students to buy lunch.

Heartland has not admitted to any wrongdoing. Instead, Heartland agreed to pay $18,250,000 to settle the case. The group of people Heartland has agreed to pay is called the “Settlement Class,” which includes everyone who used credit or debit cards to upload money to MySchoolBucks to purchase school lunches between June 18, 2013 and July 31, 2019 (unless you did not upload money to MySchoolBucks for school lunches on or after January 1, 2015).

If you believe you are a member of the Settlement Class who may be entitled to payment from the settlement and you want to submit a claim, and/or you want to learn more about the case, the settlement, and your options, please visit the Settlement Website at https://www.msbfeesettlement.com.
