Hoosiers who have unused gift cards from former retailer RadioShack can now file claims seeking to recover any remaining balances, said Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller. Consumers with these gift cards can visit oldradioshackgiftcards.com to read about the claims process and obtain a claim form which they can submit electronically or by mail. This must be done by Dec. 2, 2016. This refund opportunity is part of a settlement agreement previously approved in U.S. Bankruptcy court and supported by 24 state attorneys general and the District of Columbia. All claims will be reviewed according to the court approved plan and settlement which established the RSH Liquidating Trust and authorized it to review and approve claims in accordance with the court’s orders. Under the Court’s order, the Trust will treat as a priority claim and pay 100 percent of the balance on the cards to consumers holding gift cards that were purchased directly from RadioShack, the RadioShack website or any of its authorized sellers. Cards acquired in any other way will NOT be treated as a priority claims and those claimants will at most receive a small percentage of the balance of the card and may not receive any payment. The deadline for filing claims is Dec. 2, 2016 and consumers in all fifty states are eligible to file proofs of claim. Zoeller cautions consumers that no one associated with this settlement will contact them to ask for personal or financial information or to request any payment. Consumers asked for such information or payment should say no to those requests as it is likely a scam. |
