Reportedly, certain banks are refusing to reimburse their customers after an unwanted or unauthorized charge is made to their account – and now lawsuits could be filed because of it. Plus, the companies behind Cartiva are facing lawsuits over the problematic big toe implant, and attorneys are beginning to investigate certain 401(k) plans that they believe may have been mismanaged. We’ll round things out with lawsuits being filed against Live Nation over its alleged stranglehold on the live events industry.

| Attorneys working with ClassAction.org believe some banks may be violating a federal law called the Electronic Fund Transfer Act by failing to reverse unauthorized transactions reported by their customers. The law covers unauthorized charges on debit cards, through person-to-person payment systems like Venmo, Zelle and Cash App, and, in some instances, via wire transfers. They’re now looking into whether class action lawsuits can be filed to help consumers get their money back. So, if you had an unauthorized transaction that was not refunded by your bank, share your story with us here. |

| | ~ In Other News ~ | Attorneys are currently looking into whether Virtua Health, Atrius Health and WakeMed violated a federal law called the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by improperly managing their 401(k) plans. Under ERISA, plan sponsors and administrators are required to act in the best interests of participants. The attorneys believe, however, that some companies may have lost their employees millions in retirement savings by, for instance, choosing underperforming investment options and allowing for excessive fees. If you worked for and participated in the 401(k) plan at Virtua Health, Atrius Health or WakeMed, check out the details here. |
| A proposed class action lawsuit has been filed after the U.S. Department of Justice and 29 attorneys general sued Ticketmaster’s parent company Live Nation Entertainment in an attempt to break up an apparent monopoly over the live events industry. The case claims that over the last 30 years, Ticketmaster and Live Nation have “built empires” across the live event and ticket-selling industries through anticompetitive means that harm the entire industry. As the DOJ claims, the alleged monopoly results in fans paying more, artists having fewer opportunities to perform and smaller promoters having no chance of entering the industry.
