| | ~ In Other News ~ | Have you been charged a “convenience” fee to make a payment on a loan, debt, mortgage or credit card? If so, you should know that attorneys working with ClassAction.org have reason to believe that these fees – which include pay-by-phone fees and online service charges – may be illegal in certain states. They’re now looking into whether lawsuits can be filed over these potentially illegal fees on behalf of certain borrowers in North Carolina, Maryland, Michigan, Florida, California and South Carolina. A successful lawsuit could help consumers get their money back and put an end to any illegal practices. Head over to this page for a list of creditors under investigation, as well as more information on your legal rights. |
| A newly filed lawsuit is calling Apple’s AirTags the new “weapon of choice” for stalkers and abusers, stating that the tracking devices have “revolutionized the scope, breadth, and ease of location-based stalking.” Although the stated purpose of the roughly quarter-sized AirTags is to transmit a precise location signal to help users locate missing items, the product obviously has the potential to be used for more nefarious purposes. Immediately after the $29 product’s 2021 release (and consistently since), reports have surfaced of people finding AirTags placed in their purses, on their cars, and even sewn into the lining of their clothing by stalkers looking to track their movements, the lawsuit says. The case looks to cover all individuals in the United States who either own iOS or Android devices and were tracked without consent by Apple’s AirTag or are at risk of being stalked. You can read up on the allegations being made here. |
