Case No. A-23-869000-B

www.RodriguezOFACsettlement.com

The Court granted Final Approval of the Settlement on October 14, 2024. Please note that the deadline to file a Claim Form and/or a Payment Election Form has been extended from December 9, 2024 to December 13, 2024.

Your rights and options – and the deadlines by which to exercise them –
are explained in the Notice.

Please read the Notice carefully in its entirety.

  • Plaintiff Angel Luis Rodriguez, Jr. (“Plaintiff”) filed a class action lawsuit, or a lawsuit seeking to recover on behalf of a group of people, against National Credit Center, LLC (“NCC” or “Defendant”). NCC offers services to auto dealers, power sports dealers, and lenders while they are considering prospective borrowers for loans or finance deals.
  • Plaintiff claims that NCC provided an NCC OFAC Screen to its customers inaccurately stating that he and other Class Members were possible matches to an entry on the Office of Foreign Asset Control’s List of Specially Designated Nationals (the “OFAC List”). The OFAC List, which is maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is a list of people, groups, and companies, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers, with which U.S. businesses are not allowed to do business.
  • Plaintiff and Defendant have agreed to resolve disputed claims through a proposed class action settlement. The Settlement has not yet been approved by the Court.
  • NCC denies any and all allegations or assertions of wrongdoing in this lawsuit.
  • This website is only a summary of the proposed Settlement. More details about the proposed Settlement, including answers to frequently asked questions, can be found in the Notice which is available on the Important Documents page.
  • The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. Payments will be made if the Court approves the Settlement and after any appeals are resolved. Please be patient.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS
Stay in the Settlement - Do Nothing You will receive a Pro Rata Award payment. You will lose any legal rights you may have against Defendant related to this lawsuit, and you will lose the right to object to the Settlement of this lawsuit. If you do not submit an online Payment Election Form, your payment will be sent by check to the address to which Notice was sent by U.S. mail. If your mail was returned as undeliverable and you do nothing, you will not receive a payment. If you are unsure whether you received notice of this Settlement by mail, you are strongly encouraged to complete a Payment Election Form.
Stay in the Settlement - Submit a Claim Form If you experienced particularized harm as a result of the NCC OFAC Screen reported by Defendant, you may make a claim for an Actual Damages Award in addition to the Pro Rata Award by filling out a Claim Form and submitting it by December 9, 2024. Valid Claim Forms submitted online, emailed, or postmarked by December 9, 2024 will be honored. Claims made after December 9, 2024 may still be honored, as the final claims deadline depends on the Court's final approval order. The settlement website will be updated with the claims deadline after final approval, and reminder notices will be sent accordingly. You will lose any legal rights you may have against Defendant related to this lawsuit.
Stay in the Settlement - Submit a Payment Election Form If you do not receive notice in the mail, or if you wish to receive your payment via electronic means or at a different address, you can submit a Payment Election Form by December 9, 2024 requesting payment by other means (Zelle, Venmo, etc.). That deadline may be extended by the Court's final approval order, which will be posted on the settlement website. You are not required to submit a Payment Election Form in order to be paid, except if mail that was sent to you is returned. In that case, we will send you a further notice by email informing you that you are required to submit a Payment Election Form in order to receive your payment. You will lose any legal rights you may have against Defendant related to this lawsuit.
Exclude Yourself You may exclude yourself from the Settlement Class by mailing a written notice to the Settlement Administrator, postmarked by September 25, 2024, that includes a signed and dated statement saying that you want to be excluded from the Class. If you exclude yourself, you will not receive a settlement payment and you will lose the right to object to the Settlement of this lawsuit, but you will keep any legal rights you may have against Defendant.
