Replies from PSC & Ankura
I sent an email inquiry to both today.
Ms. _________,
I am an attorney with the Plaintiff's Steering Committee. Per the FTC Order, Claim processing began on November 1, 2016 and the first day to begin receiving claim approvals was November 15, 2016. There have been some delays in claim processing and the Court has been made aware of those delays. The Court will likely address the issue at the upcoming 11/30/16 Status Conference.
While VW is currently behind in processing, we expect claim approvals to be upcoming shortly. After claim approval, you will receive an offer letter within 10 business days. VW will process all approved claims and the Court has asked for patience with this issue.
If you would like to discuss this further, I can be reached at 415-956-1000 x3359.
Regards,
Alex Larrabee
