Stoll Stoll Berne Lokting & Shlachter Announces That Checks Are to Be Mailed in Hartford Fire Insurance Company Settlement

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On August 27, 2007, checks in the amount of approximately $175.00 were mailed to over 340,000 class members in a nationwide multi-million dollar class action settlement between Hartford Fire Insurance Company and its policyholders. The policyholders alleged that Hartford Fire, and its subsidiaries, failed to provide notice in the form required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act when it used information in consumer credit reports in connection with the pricing of insurance.

Steve Larson, lead lawyer for the policyholders, encouraged class members to be sure to check and open their mail, because “they must deposit the check before February 23, 2008 or the check will become invalid.”
