You may be a member of the settlement class in Camacho et al. v. Alliant Credit Union, Case No. 5:22- CV-01690-BLF, in which the plaintiff alleges that defendant Alliant Credit Union (“Defendant”) violated the federal and California state civil rights acts because it had a policy of unlawfully denying Consumer Credit Products to applicants on the basis of their immigration or residency status. Defendant denies the plaintiff’s claims or that it has discriminated against any of its members or anyone else in any way, but has decided to settle to avoid the time and expense of litigation. If you are a Class Member and if the Settlement is approved, you may be entitled to receive a check in the amount of $250 (non-California resident at the time of the denial) or $2,500 (California resident at the time of the denial) from a total settlement fund of $86,750.
The Court has preliminarily approved this settlement. It will hold a Final Approval Hearing in this case on August 15, 2024. At that hearing, the Court will consider the following: (1) whether to grant final approval to the settlement; (2) whether to approve Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees, estimated to be less than $50,000; and (3) and the cost of and administrator to implement the settlement. All fees and costs are being paid by Defendant in addition to the total settlement fund. Defendant has agreed not to oppose Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees up to $50,000.
If you do not want to participate in this settlement—meaning you do not want to receive a check payment—you may exclude yourself by submitting an opt-out request postmarked no later than June 19, 2024. If you do not opt out and the Court grants final approval of the settlement, then you will receive a check based on your state of residence at the time of the denial of a Consumer Credit Product from Defendant, but you will release any claims that you may have against Defendant that are alleged in the Complaint in this case.
If you want to object to this settlement, or any part of it, because you think it is not fair, adequate, or reasonable, you may object by submitting an objection postmarked no later than June 19, 2024. If your objection is overruled, then you will receive a check based on your state of residence at the time of the denial of a Consumer Credit Product from Defendant, but you will release any claims that you may have against Defendant that are alleged in the Complaint in this case.
