Anderson v. Travelex Insurance Services, Inc. and Transamerica Casualty Insurance Company

If you are a person in the United States who has been identified by Defendants Travelex Insurance Services, Inc. and Transamerica Casualty Insurance Company as insured under a single-trip travel protection plan purchased within the Class Period (January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2017), and for whom a claim for trip cancellation benefits was initiated, you could get benefits from a class action settlement.

• You are part of the Settlement Class if you purchased on or after January 1, 2014 and on or before December 31, 2017 a single-trip travel protection plan sold by Defendants, initiated a trip cancellation claim, and did not receive a refund of any portion of the premium paid for the travel protection plan. If you are part of the Settlement, you should have received a postcard notice in the mail or an email informing you that you are a member of the Settlement Class.
  • This Settlement does not relate to the COVID-19 pandemic or travel protection plans purchased after December 31, 2017.
  • If you think you are a member of the Settlement Class but did not receive an e-mail or a postcard mailing, you may contact the Settlement Administrator at Travel Plan Settlement, 1650 Arch Street, Suite 2210, Philadelphia, PA 19103. Class membership was determined based on records that were previously collected in connection with the Settlement.
• The Settlement provides money for Settlement Class Members. Defendants will provide a settlement fund of $3,237,500. This money will be available for payment to approximately 105,294 potential Settlement Class Members, and will also be used to pay for any court-approved attorneys’ fees and expenses, a Class Representative service payment, and administration costs. A portion of the Settlement fund that is not directly distributed to Settlement Class Members may be distributed to a charity with the Court’s approval.
