Chase Bank Credit Card Debt Settlement Notes

  • Rusty Haynes v. Chase Bank USA, N.A.
  • Case No. 18 CV 3307 (VB)
  • Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York

Plaintiff Rusty Haynes brought this consolidated complaint to challenge Chase Bank’s alleged illegal practice of selling and attempting to collect discharged debts. Additionally, the complaint claims that Chase Bank failed to update and correct credit information to credit reporting agencies to show that consumers’ debts are no longer due and owing because they have been discharged in bankruptcy.

Specifically, Haynes alleges that despite the fact that Chase Bank has received notice of the discharge of a consumer’s credit card debt Chase deliberately fails to notify credit reporting agencies that credit card debts are no longer “charged off” or currently still due and owing because they have been discharged in bankruptcy.

“As result of Chase’s refusal to make such updates to credit reporting agencies, debts that have been discharged in bankruptcy are listed on Class Members’ credit reports as “past due” and/or “charged off.”

Chase Bank denies that it attempted to collect discharged debts or otherwise violated bankruptcy discharge injunctions but agreed to settle the case to the tune of $11.5 million. Complete details are provided in the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement and other related documents are available on the Chase Bank Credit Card Debt Settlement website.
