  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Challenges of Faith Radio Program. I am

  Speaker 1: Gary McCants. Thank you for joining us here on Did

  Speaker 1: You Hear? Episode 3414. Government Employees Insurance Company, GEICO, has
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: agreed to pay $ 1. 65 million to resolve a class action
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: lawsuit accusing it of failing to properly investigate and correct
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: inaccurate insurance information shared with Consumer Reporting Agency LexisNexis Risk Solutions,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the GEICO settlement benefits individuals who filed one or more
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: disputes through LexisNexis Risk Solutions between March 13, 2022 and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: May 1, 2026, involving information linked to their CLUE report
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that was not attributable to them or a household member
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: or reflected a mixed file where LexisNexis identified GEICO as
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a source of the information. LexisNexis' response indicated the information
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: was unverifiable or accurate. GEICO never had the information corrected
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: or removed. The information remained on the Consumer's Clue Report
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and the consumers included in the settlement class list GEICO Generators.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: According to the class action lawsuit, GEICO violated the Fair
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Credit Reporting Act, as I slow down, by failing to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: properly reinvestigate consumer disputes rooted through LexisNexis and by failing
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to correct or flag disputed information that remained on class
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: members' clue reports. GEICO is a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary that
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: sells car insurance directly.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: To consumers in all 50 states.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: GEICO has not admitted any wrongdoing, but agreed to a 1.65
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: million class action settlement to resolve allegations made in the lawsuit. 3.4
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: million Globe Life data breach class action settlement.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Globe Life agreed to it. You might want to look
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: into it, those of you who have Globe Life.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: 167.5 million Visa, MasterCard, non-bank, ATM class action settlement. That's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: as a result of resolved claims over ATM access fees
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: charged in non-bank machines. So if you paid a fee
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to withdraw cash at an independent ATM, you may be
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: eligible for a payment. According to the class action lawsuit,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Visa and MasterCard violated federal and state antitrust laws by
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: prohibiting independent ATM operators from charging different access fees based
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: on the network used to process the transaction. As a result,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the consumers were allegedly forced to pay higher access fees
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: than they should have.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Question.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Did an online platform fail to quickly take down your
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: intimate images? Have you reported it to the Federal Trade Commission? Well,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the FTC staff wants you to know that if someone
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: shares an intimate photo or video of you online without
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: your permission, it can be stressful and upsetting. That's why
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the law requires platforms to give you an easy way
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to submit a takedown request and to take it down
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: within 48 hours.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: But wait a minute. What if the platform doesn't take
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: it down?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Well, report them to the FTC at takeitdown.ftc.gov. Have you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: reached out to FTC and let them know that they
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: didn't honor your request of taking it down? Because that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: could be a $ 53, 088 per violation on that platform that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: had not followed up your request. Were you harmed by
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a spinal cord stimulator implant? Did you receive a spinal
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: cord stimulator implant within the past six years and experienced complications? Well,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you're not alone and you may have legal options. So
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you might want to find out what the lawsuit is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: all about.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: You are, are you not? Because you want to think
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: about that. All right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And we're talking about The device that was used was
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: manufactured by Abbott Boston Scientific Medtronic, Nevro, or St.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Jude.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And the implant was used to treat chronic pain, not sleep, apnoea,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: or bladder-related conditions. You experience complications, device malfunction, or other
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: injuries after implantation. So again, if you believe you meet
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: all those criteria, reach.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Out and find out what the lawsuit entails.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: T-Mobile customers alleged the company added a deceptive regulatory programs
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and telecom recovery fee that was not adequately disclosed when
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they signed up, which caused the increase of the true
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: cost of the service above the advertised price.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: So, if you are a current.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Or former T-Mobile wireless or home internet customer who was
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: charged this fee, you may qualify to pursue compensations. So
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you went out and you bought you a drink, meaning
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a bloom sparkling energy drink.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Will you wear that?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: There's a class action suit going on?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: It is, yep. Didn't you hear about it?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So if you've been buying them, you need to find
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: out what the lawsuit alleges, especially as it relates to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the artificial flavor.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: You are or you're not? I know you are. But
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: are you?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Were you aware that consumers have alleged that P & G,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Arm & Hammer, unscented deodorants contain fragrance?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Think about it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: You go out there and you think you're buying unscented
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: deodorant for a reason. Well, there's a class action that's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: going on alleging that P & G and Arm &
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Hammer contain fragrance anyway. Two new class action lawsuits accused
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Church & Dwight and P & G of falsely marketing
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: deodorants as unscented despite the products containing fragrance ingredients.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Were you aware of that? You weren't? All right. You
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: want to take a look at the lawsuit that benefits
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you or your loved ones.

• 7:13
  Speaker 1: cause skin irritation.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: In your life.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: All right, there's a class action that's alleged that AMC
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: has charged junk fees for online movie tickets. A new
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: class action lawsuit accuses the movie theater of charging hidden
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: fees when consumers purchase movie tickets online. The plaintiff, Alex Berkey,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he filed the lawsuit, complained against AMC Entertainment on August
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the 26th in Pennsylvania State Court, alleging violations of state
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: consumer laws. The class action lawsuit alleges the company routinely
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: displays a fixed admission price to view a movie in
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: its theaters. However, later in the online purchasing process, it
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: adds a surprise convenience fee, which is mandatory unless the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: purchaser instead agrees to pay, you ready for it, $ 17. 99
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: annually to upgrade their order by joining AMC Stubbs Premier,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the lawsuit claims.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: So you want to look into that. I know you will.

• 8:38
